Well I put some heatsinks on the bruce and chuck chips and on the ram chips too. I had to modify the SLI cable a bit so that it would fit.
But my way takes in a lot of room IMHO.

If you are looking for some really great Voodoo2 cooling fans you might want to get the TennMax Stealth V2 Cooler. One fan covers all the chips on the V2 and it's thin so you can use your SLI without seperating the cards. Take a look here: http://www.tennmax.com/voodoo2/stealth.htm

BTW, the TennMax Stealth V3 Coolers are great for your Voodoo3 and Voodoo5 cards.
They are the best cooling fans I've seen for the V5... http://tennmax.com/voodoo3/stealth_v3.htm

I used the easiest method possible to cool my Voodoo2's:  single small fan attached with double sided tape so that it cools the v2 chip.  This method is illustrated on my very old 3dfx website for a V5 5500, but same principle (please turn pop up blockers ON!):

My Voodoo2's were locking up constantly at OEM clocking, but with this mod they work perfectly :)
