    Need ZeroTherm BTF90 retention clip

    I purchased the cooler from ebay without reading the description very closely -- turned out it came with only AMD bracket, not the Intel one (which is what I have, unfortunately) If anyone has a ZEROtherm BTF90 used with AMD chip, do you think you could part with the 775 bracket? Thanks

    TONIGHT'S WOOT - Rockford Fosgate WiFi Car/Home Audio Bundle $199

    I bought one when the deal went up 2nd time on w00t (MONTHS ago) -- DMP1 is pretty good but not without its flaws: * there is no fast-forward/rewind option when playing a file * the screen is nearly unusable if you wear polarized sunglasses * the screen is made of a very soft plastic and...
