need advice on socket 423

So, I went through my parts buckets and found an old RDRAM motherboard, an intel D850GB. Since my mom needs a new PC (hers is circa 1999 with one of the first 3d accelerator cards in AGP on a p3/900 platform) I asked her to check out some web sites and pick a case. Damn it all if she didn't like the Diablo Mid-Tower with Neon Lights. I had no idea she wanted something so flashy. Anyways, I'm rambling.

I need a suggestion on a socket 423 cooler for a p4/1.7 that's compatible with the above listed parts. I lost the original, or it's buried in the garage some place. I'll need one that has the parts to attach it to the board as I don't have those parts either so one with a backer is great. One that's red or unflashy would be perfect so it matches the case. Thanks!

Thanks, Weasel. Frozen had the same cooler but marked as out of stock. I called them up and the dude (Bucky) found one more on the shelf so I managed to save some shipping costs. Grin

I got the all-copper one too so it's 100% RED.

cool, I didn't think to look for that cooler there. I know Directron has some decent/cool stuff and the occasional "odd n' end" like the brackets. Needed some for a Xeon rig a while back.
