Edit: this is the best deal I know about in Socket A higher capacity, but not super high end coolers, https://www.cablesalescanada.com/index.php?ma … products_id=227
Cool site. Great prices on retro cpu coolers. I bought a few to make the shipping worth it.

Yeah I got a bunch off them in the spring, they had some early noughts GPU coolers then as well, guess it's just NOS that's clearing out. Also got weird crap like thinnet terminators and PCMCIA to SATA and AT case switches.
Awesome, very relevant to my interests. I tossed a $10 bid at this ebay auction and apparently just bought a "ASUS A7V8X-MX SE, Socket A, AMD Motherboard Athlon XP 2600+ Barton 512M RAM". Hopefully they actually send it out for that price, heh.
To keep this on topic, tonight I had to remember that "fdisk /mbr" exists for the first time in decades for... reasons..
