After transferring my components out of my old case into a shiny new Zalman Z3 Plus yesterday at one point while connecting a case fan to a motherboard header I nudged the heatsink. Looks like one of those annoying black and white plastic pins has broken at the tip of the white part. The CPU temps are currently unaffected but naturally I'd like to replace the damaged pin. They do however, appear to be like hens teeth to get hold of. Can't see any in the shop here at OcUK and short of ordering a cheap 775 cooler there doesn't appear to be anywhere selling them. Found some places on the bay of 'E's' flogging them but they were all sellers based abroad.
Any ideas where I can get replacements for these? Somewhere on the high street would be ideal but mail order would be fine. Had a look at a couple of well known high street PC parts retailers websites but can't see any listed there either.
The annoying thing is I have a stock of about a dozen of these sitting around somewhere but as usual with PC parts that you know you have kept for a rainy day, I have had a hunt and can't find the damn things anywhere. Typical.
