Any body know where I could buy video card heatsink/fans?

Hi. I was looking to pick up one of the new Geforce2 MX cards that are getting ready to come out but since most of them don't come with cooling hardware I was thinking I could just buy a heatsink/fan and put on the thing. I would prefer one made specifically for this purpose if possible (don't wann loose the PCI slot beside the AGP). Does anybody know where such a device could be bought?

Here you go, I think I want one for the same exact reason: http://millisec.safeshopper.com/11/135.htm?905

make your own Grab a greenie and slap a fan on it. Thermal tape it to the HS on the MX and you got yourself a hs/fan combo that won't block a pci slot

Mechbgon, the fan on the link looks pretty good. I would like to get one with the push pins if possible. I've been able to find these http://www.tennmax.com/GF_cooler.htm, but they are expensive (and I know this is picky but I'd like the 3pin motherboard power connector instead of the 4-pin PS). Still, I think I might go with the tennmax. Anybody here had any (good/bad) experiences with them?

Tennmax has a 7.0/7.0 rating at Resellerratings... amazing, when I consider how hard it is to please customers in my field! I have only dealt with them once myself but it was a good experience, they called from the East coast to straighten out my erroneous credit-card number on my order, and were perfectly polite about it. Can't remark on the cooler, but I know they'd back it up if you had any trouble with it... and since it's removable, you will be able to remove it if there's a fan failure.

Actually, I think I finally found the one i'm getting. This one at http://www.coolerstar.com/bgagrapcool.html seems to be what I'm looking for. It's very low cost (under $5) and has those mounting pins. Don't know if it has a 3-pin or 4-pin connector, but for the price i'm not going to complain. From what I've seen it should pair up quite nicely with the GF2 MX.
