XFX 6600 GT in Shuttle - Need to kill noise!

Like the topic says, I have a SN95G5 with an XFX 6600 GT that I just installed. I went from a passively cooled card to this guy... though its not vacuum cleaner loud, its pretty darn loud (probably 32db at least). I wouldn't want to go to sleep with this in the room but unfortunately I leave my computer on and I sleep in the same room... so I need a way of hushing things. I am willing to clock down the video card immensely if that will allow for lower fan speeds.

Does anyone know of a 'fanmate' type thing that would fit this connector? Or is there any software herd of that can control the fan on this card?

Wait about a month and then I am sure some quieter replacement fans will be out. I am not sure if the rugular new fans will work with 6600gt since it has the pci-e/agp chip.
