I've been wondering the same thing. Perhaps a manifold of some sort?

FWIW, I have a solid tube that I would rather not cut to have fan(s) blowing 
across the face.

Consider that a typical mirror box has a baffle at the top of the mirror 
box - see this example:

When the breeze from a powerful rear fan goes past the side of the mirror 
and hits the inside of the baffle, what does that do to the airflow 
direction? Will some of the breeze blow across the front of the mirror, 
assuming the mirror surface is close to the baffle? If not, could the mirror 
box be designed to direct the air toward the front mirror surface?
