Has anyone tried one of these?

I assume that they're only useful if you end up added a case fan to pull out

I checked out some reviews after posting...

Definately something for a specific niche. Not something the average person
would really be interested in.

Looks like I'll be going with the Zalman CNPS7000A to quiet this PC down...
