Socket 775 Backplate

So I have an old Sunbeam 92mm Tower Cooler that worked pretty good back in the day and I'm going to use it on a new machine I'm tossing together. The problem is, some stupid guy got pissed off with the push-pins after he was reseating them b/c his board wouldn't POST due to VGA problems.....(looong story)....

Anywho, does anyone know where one can pickup a socket 775 backplate/screw set that will allow me to mount this to the back of any s775 board? My new LAN rig will thank you for keeping it chilly.

 
Comes out to a tad under $9 from SideWinder as linked above (with USPS Priority Shipping). Snagged that and some fan guards, screws, fan pushpins for about 12.50 Shipped. I'm adding that to the list of ever growing vendors...Thanks MadScientist!

The Thermalright kit should work with the Freezer Pro. You will have to take the fan off to access and tighten the 2 screws under the fan to the backplate. I have the Cooler Master Hyper TX2 which is similar in construction and about equal in performance to the Freezer Pro. I had to remove the fan and plastic guard on it. There's instructions on Thermalright's site on how to remove the plastic push pins without destroying them if, and I don't know why you would, want to use them again.
