This is a cool idea. I think I'll do this, too.

Although I will need to take some hard numbers, like you did, I can say
pretty confidently that when I removed the rear PCI slot that's directly
under the video card, I received an airflow out that slot and things did get
a little stabler. :-)

I haven't been able to play with it much in the last few days -- moving and
all that.

Cheers,
