Help me silence my video card!

Alright. So I have the AGP version of the Geforce EVGA 6600GT card. It has a big dumb fan on it that is loud and doesn't cool very well. Older versions of the card had a heat sink that wasn't parallel to the card itself, but this must be a revision or something because it is parallel to the card like pretty much every other video card out there.

I need a replacement fan for this thing. Its high-pitched whine is driving me fucking batty. Hopefully nothing over $20 bucks.

Any suggestions?

    www.silentpcreview.com is a site dedicated to quiet computing, if nothing comes from checking out reviews, their forums have good info to help quiet down a system

    I'd check Zalman's site for the ZM80D to see if its compatible with that card. It reviewed well, but may still require a fan for that card.
