I scrapped my first computer this weekend. Just for kicks, I decided to keep the heatsink over the CPU. Well, I'm glad I did because it looks like they actually sell on ebay. I saw them selling between $5-$30.

BCR said:Not all CPU heatsinks are going to sell on Ebay.. you need to know the CPU socket # it comes from.. you might do okay with Socket 478's anything older than that and you may as well take it in for extrusion. The CPU socket number is usually listed on the socket itself or on the motherboard.
You really want Socket 775's, AM2, Socket 754 and Socket 939.
Hope this helps.
