    Ok they have the shell of a DELL 5150 in work, and I have a few spare sticks of RAM and a Pentium D I could throw into it (need it for a little experiment i'm running) But the catch is it has no heatsink, I have the stock Intel heatsink but it doesn't fit because the mobo is BTX :mad: thank you DELL.

    Anyone know where I can pick up a cheap or second hand heatsink with fan shroud for this mobo. Free would be better :p

    Use Gaffer Tape.

    I reckon a couple of loops lengthways and a couple widthways and the jobs a goodun. A

    Alternatively and more seriously, on such a cheap rig why not just use some Artic ceramique and fix that Intel HS on forever........you can always hold in in place with gaffer tape while it sets ;)
