Japlatt,
I have an XPS Gen 2. Check my posts and you can see what I did with mine. Check the photography section as well as I posted pics and information.
A great starting point is Trow's guide to cooling and modding. He has great pictures and information.
On the Video Card, do you have the 9800XT? I highly advise you to pick up the ATI Silencer 3. If you go this route you will have to cut your mounting bracket. For some reason the 9800XT cards issued by Dell has a thick 2" bracket plate. If you just add the ATI Silencer 3, you will get no airflow out the rear so you have to cut it so it fits like a normal bracket.
The end result is I play BF1942, DOOM 3, FAR CRY, etc. with everything cranked to the max with no problems or artifacts.
