The airflow deflector may include a base portion, a first leg, and a second leg. The first and second legs may be spaced apart from each other and may extend from the base portion. The fan may force air against the base portion. A first portion of the air may flow from the base portion along the first leg, and a second portion of the air may flow from the base portion along the second leg.
