I saw an ad for a great price on Xeon CPUs, but it came with no heatsinks. How hard is it to find heatsinks for specific CPUs and what do they normally run?

Anybody have a URL for heatsink sellers?

just about every place in the world that sells components also sell heatsinks- you could probably have found 50 in the time it took you to post this.

If it's flat on the heatsink side and you can't find the RIGHT heatsink, you could always glue one on with thermal epoxy!

Oops. Closer to six or seven. Most of the 20 had proc. included.
