Is it possible to move your case fans?  Does the interference decrease 
as you move them further from your card?  Do you really need those fans 
on to provide adequate cooling to your case? 

There are always other cooling options (bay mounted coolers, etc) that 
you could use that would work and depending on your situation you might 
not need the fans at all.  Even my smallest case frontend doesn't 
require anything more than the CPU fan...
