I just tried removing my thermaltake P4 cooler from my motherboard and I managed to break one of the mounting clips on the motherboard.(The black plastic thingamajig that goes around the socket.)This cooler was impossible to remove BTW and just earned its toss to the garbage. Anyway, does anyone know where I could purchase a new mounting clip for my motherboard? Asus has yet to respond to me via email. Any info would be greatly appreciated as I need this PC up and running asap. Thanks.

If you get the new Alpha PAL8492 you don't need the retail heatsink clip (cause the Alpha includes new parts you screw onto the motherboard).

Cool. Do you know of a good Alpha reseller I could go to online? BTW, are the forums running sloooooooow for anyone else besides me?

OK, I found a reseller but I'm not sure what kind of fan to get with it. I don't want somthing too loud. Is the 50cfm fan too loud? Or should I got with the 42.5?
