A system for managing air flow computing devices in a rack includes a stall and filler elements. The stall includes a stall top panel and two side panels spaced apart from one another. The stall accommodates a rack computing system. The filler elements fill gaps between the computing devices of the rack computing systems and the panels of the stalls. An air moving system moves air from the cold aisle through cold-aisle facing air inlets of the computing devices. The filler elements inhibit air moving toward the cold aisle-facing inlets from leaking through gaps between the computing devices of the rack computing systems and the stall panels such that the filler elements inhibit air moving toward inlets in the computing devices from leaking through the gaps between the computing devices in the rack and the stall panels.
