Anyone else think that the price of the MC14 and MC21's are a bit outrages? Are there any alternatives?
Thanks,
JM

I heard staples were a good alternative. not exactly sure though...
but I totally agree with you, those heat sinks are really expensive and IMO not really worth it.
I'm probably going to go to home depot and buy a packet of cheap metal jigsaw blades and hack up my old Pentium slot cooler.

I see them go for around $10. That's not so bad for a pack of 8. Seeing how they've got basically the best design out there (airflow direction doesn't matter as opposed to other BGA sinks with a fin design), and also made of copper which is very expensive, the price isn't bad at all.
Look at these though:

More fins than the Swiftechs which means more surface area. I'd be interested to see a comparison between the two.

Well copper is a semi precious metal. But yeah, I think the price for there 8800 bundle pack is a bit high.
