This is purely tangential, but a friend just upgraded his nVidia 7600-based card to an 8800 and it killed his power supply the instant he turned it on after installing it. The 8800 GT can draw nearly 250W!!
So perhaps you should let the fan do its thing... Maybe relocate the box? I'd say "throw a blanket over it," but...
I have a 650W on mine, and am seriously considering going to a 1000W. :-P I have too many hard drives, and yup, the nVidia cards draw a LOT. The PSU I have now though is really working nicely... a BeQuiet 650. Best PSU I've ever had.
