Can anyone point me in the direction of an easy to install cooler, preferably on the cheap side, for a amd sempron (am1) motherboard.

thanks in advance - banny

me and coolers have a bad history

Check craigslist first if you can us it. Sometimes you can find an older cpu with cooler dirt cheap. Make an offer. Or this will work if you don't overclock: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106156

The FS1b (AM1) boxed cooler is pretty easy to install. There are two Intel-esque push pins that you poke through the board and then push down on the tops of the pins. Not too tough. There are also screw-down (similar to a server) FS1b cooler designs as well. All you do is push the screw into contact with the backplate, give it a few turns, and you're done.

As far as I am aware there are no aftermarket FS1b coolers available yet.
