HAHAHA! I was just about to come hear and post of the same question. I actually want to put an extra fan on top of my Delta. Would that help?
thanks,

Stacking them? If your thinking about stacking them the output wouldn't be that much more then 1 fan, maybe 10% more airflow.
If your putting them side by side, though the vantec is a big heatsink there would be a huge overhang.
Honestly niether one of these will come close to the performance of a Delta38, could consider putting a 80mm fan ontop of it just slap it bare right on there. Or just going with a quieter 60mm fan.

You could also consider putting the fan on the side of the hs(if there is enough room that is) it would increase the flow through the sink and lower temps also this is better than staccking the fans.

Would it matter if it's blowing or sucking?
