Dell uses a proprietary heatsink/shroud, with non-standard mounting holes. There is only one shroud, and two different heatsinks which may be attached to the shroud. The lesser heatsink is all aluminum, and the better one has a copper plate and copper heatpipes. You really only need the latter if you replace the CPU with a higher power CPU, like a quad core.

Dell uses proprietary everything. HP too. I think Dell now uses ATX standard psu's though.
