I know there are a lot of you guys that know a lot of modding stuff. My videocard fan just make a hell of a noise. I'm looking for a affordable and quiet solution, I'm not interested in overclocking, so powerful fans have no room here, I just want it to be quiet. Zalman stuff is just too expensive. Any recommendation?

Newegg is great and has indeed the greatest prices, but I'm unable to buy things there due to my location...

Just spend $30 and get a Zalman, it'll be worth it, afterall its only a one-time expense and that heatsink should fit on cards made in the future as well.
