Graphics card is now being cooled by blue-LED sleeve-bearing case fan "mounted" horizontally via a pretty peice of orange ribbon. This is one of the few modding ideas that I've actually followed through to the end.

Sure, I've heard that you're not supposed to mount sleeve-bearing fans horizontally but it's the only one I had available, and it ain't doin' anyone any good, sittin' in a box, waitin' to be thrown out.
