Any nifty ideas on cooling GPUs (not water cooled)

To be honest I'm just poking around to see what others are doing to cool down their GPU rigs... On my setup I have two boxes One of them is a full tower box and has 5 fans (2 side inwards, 1 on top inwards, 2 back outwards) which keep my 3 7970 cards around 75-80c at 650-680mhs (which I consider good). The other is just a mid atx tower and it get's way too hot for that little box with 1x7970 and 1x5970. I basically stripped the sides and have a table fan blowing directly at the cards (hover around 75c-80c).

Basically looking to see if some people came up with clever methods to keep their systems cool... people using open custom cases (milk crates)? Maybe attach a vent to draw out the hot air or bring in cold air?... any of you use those fish tank ideas full of mineral oil (a bit too risky for me).
