Augmenting air cooling of electronics system using a cooling fluid to cool air entering the system, and to remove the heat dissipated by the electronics. A cooled electronics system includes a frame with drawers containing electronics components to be cooled. The frame includes a front with an air inlet and a back with an air outlet. A cabinet encases the frame, and includes a front cover positioned over the air inlet, a back cover positioned over the air outlet, and first and second side air returns at opposite sides of the frame. At least one air moving device establishes air flow across the electronics drawers. The air flow bifurcates at the back cover and returns to the air inlet via the first and second side air returns and the front cover. An air-to-liquid heat exchanger cools the air flowing across the electronics drawers.
