My dad bought a Celeron 2.4 ghz (ewww) with a motherboard at fry's for 59.99 a while back and now he needs a heatsink for it. He wants something cheap (<$15 shipped) that will just keep the computer stable. He won't be overclocking and he won't be gaming either. Any suggestions?

He could buy a Intel Stock heatsink on Ebay for about $5 or here for $6.99 since he won't be overclocking it. (The Intel Stock heatsink is fairly quiet and made to last)
Nexfan has a bunch of cheapo heatsinks for socket 478, just get something thats not to loud (over 32dba is loud to me but thats my opinion)
