That nzxt product is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking on. It looks like plenty have modded it slightly to work with 3000 series nvidia cards, and it is relatively inexpensive.
I actually managed to quiet down my card by essentially replacing the thermal paste. I did cut away some metal on the case that acts as a divider between the two card slots, increasing air flow. I am not sure which of these contributed more to the overall success, and while I can still technically hear the fan when pushing the card, it is hardly noticeable, even with no audio playing. I think I am happy with it.
That said, I am glad I created this thread. There are lots of good product recommendations, and I may move on to water cooling at some point.
