Cooling Expansion Cards becomes one of the major problems with air flow. Antec has a great looking product which they think would work great in this situation.

....Bigal doesn't have the time to format the review in php scripting language. Nor does Bigal have the ability to make the velocity reviews overlay for the pictures. But Bigal does have a Radioshack sound level meter!!!

I had one of them (gave it away), kinda pointless, put another card in and it blocks the airflow.

...so you need to allow for some room around the card? It pulls the air into the case from the rear, and blows it towards the videocard. There are openings behind the fan blade, but it doesn't pull much air through those. Most of the air comes in through the chamber. Anyway, I have a USB extension behind the VCool, and so there is no blockage concerns with that.

Honestly, if you've got no better use for your slots, fine, but me, I prefer to reserve those spots for actual functioning devices, as that's what they're there for. You can much more easily cool your rig a thousand different ways and not waste a slot that's intended for something else. It's like putting a potted plant in your DVD player instead of playing DVD's in it, it's stupid.
