Anybody seen these for sale in this part of the world? Tried the usual suspects Komplett, Elara, ITdirect, Peats, Maplins etc Can't seem to see it anywhere - even overclockers.co.uk don't seem to have it in stock.

Failing that could anyone recommend a good heatsink/fan combo for an XP2400 which doesn't sound like a 747 struggling to get off the ground.

Cyrus recommended that I get it from http://www.1coolpc.com in the US. It's a pretty good site, the order was placed 9pm on a Tuesday night and got to me (Dublin) the following Monday morning - pretty fast by normal USPO. I mailed the the owner of the site for some info and he was back to be in no time at all.... seems like a good guy.

In total it should cost about €40-€42 (depending on exchange rates), so it's not exactly cheap BUT it's a damn damn really LOVELY heatsink. Subjectively no louder than my old CoolerMaster CP5-6J31C and about 8 degrees cooler. Now running my XP2100 @ 200x11 = 2200Mhz

Plus it looks funky. Nuff said.

Thanks Gandorf!!!

Usually its difficult to find US computer sites that'll ship to Europe. Now all I need to do is buy the processor to go with it
Hopefully it'll all arrive by Easter weekend and i can spend the long weekend building my new pc.

these are hard HSF's to track down in europe. I found them however at a uk store:

I dont know how reputable the store is tho, if someone whos bought from them before could confirm their ok?

Yes I found them as well but it's not worth it unless you're buying a lot of stuff as they charge stg£22 for shipping to Ireland.
