Re: GTX260 Overclock
Awesome man, glad that info helped! I built some air direction duct (maybe more like a fin) to take half of the air flow from my 170 mm side panel fan and push it directly to my 2 gpus, they sit within 1C of each other now, unless F@H is running on one, and it made a big difference in my gaming. I made out of manilla folder material to get the shape right then flat blacked it until I make the final out of better material.
Also, set up a fan profile in Afterburner, you won't be disappointed. Mine below.

Re: GTX260 Overclock
Plastic coke bottle makes good duct but white plastic like bleach bottle or something is easier to work with.

Re: GTX260 Overclock
I got 2 of them from eBay but sold one as it was just sitting idle most of the time.

Don't get a 170mm unless you want to make your own filter and grill setup, I found out the hard way that no one even makes a grill for them (other than custom orders). A 140.mm grill fits bu leaves a 30mm gap around the outside of course, used door edge molding, window screen material and superglue to make my own grill/filter setup, actually works well. @ XDanger; like that line of thinking, got to scrounge through my "almost" empties now, lol. Picture of above:
