So, as I'm waiting to buy a GTX680 I saw the Twin Frozr version was stocked on a shop. I called them and they said they had a couple of them on stock. The price is 529,- Euro, order today and I would have it tomorrow....but damn guys, what should I do? If I wait, I probably have to wait a month or more and I want a GTX680 with a custom cooler (MSI Twin Frozr or ASUS DC2)

Yeah, the money is also what bothers me, I if wait for a month of more the Twin Frozr probably will be much cheaper because more shops have it on stock.

After 1 year+ one fan on my msi gtx 460 hawk 1gb stopped  Card was still under 36 months warranty but as I was facing at least 1 month+ service time, I decided to gentle disassembly fans and mounting rail leaving stock radiator only. And I managed to tie two 120mm fans @ 1000 rpm with wires to the radiator ad-hoc style  Still so damn proud of myself for that 
As a result,
IDLE:
- with stock cooling card was idling @ 30C most of the time
- with my solution temps dropped 4C and became practically inaudible
Kombustor
- with stock cooling 56C and VERY loud
- with my solution 66C, but inaudible.
