source for NB32J?
I'm looking for a reputable dealer of NB32J heatsinks that will ship USPS. For a $5.00 part I don't really like the idea of spending another $6 on shipping! Also, I'd prefer a dealer that doesn't use the cheezy Yahoo! Shopping Cart (why do so many shops use that?!)
My preference is typically NewEgg, but they seem very slow to pick up stuff like this.
My TNT2 Ultra's fan just died, so I figure this would be a good experiment for slapping on an NB32J =)

Nevermind, NewEgg DOES carry it for only $5 (although shipping was still another $5, but I'll pay the extra since I trust them).
The reason I couldn't find is that they don't call it the "NB32J" and they don't list it under VGA or NB heatsinks. I found it indirectly through pricewatch, where they call it "Zalman Motherboard Heatsink" or something like that.
/me thinks that NewEgg could use a site redesign...

Have you looked at Silicon Acoustics (one of SPCRs sponsers)? They seem to work with folks on shipping (they ship to Canada for instance) so it might be worthwhile to contact them.

Well, if you can live with the Yahoo shopping cart (what's wrong with it, anyway? It works fine for me!), SVC sells it for $4.75, and they have fair USPS shipping prices--I once bought six power-cable extensions from them, and the shipping (about 60 miles distance) was $1.25.

You don't need to create an account to use a Yahoo cart. I've used them hundreds of times and have never been prompted to create any account or log on to any existing account.BaconTastesGood wrote:I don't like the Yahoo Shopping Cart because it forces me to create a yahoo shopping account. Yet more information I don't need/want floating around.
As a matter of fact, to test this I just ordered a tube of the new Arctic Silver 5 from SVC ($7 with free shipping). There's no place on the Yahoo page that has anything to do with an account.
I use Firebird but I also checked with IE and the page doesn't look any different.
