I need a better bracket/base plate for my new heatsink.

30 November 2005.
2342 Hrs.

FM: RedSword

SUBJECT: I need a better bracket/base plate for my new heatsink.

I just recieved a new heatsink in the mail.

Description of heatsink:
Thermaltake heatsink.
model Tower112 Heatpipe cooling CL-P0024.

Description of motherboard:
ABIT VI7 motherboard.
CPU Intlel Pentium 4.

After opening the box containing the heatsink.
I realizied, "This is a heavy chunk of copper".
After looking through the manual which came with the unit.
Then eyeballing the area in which the heatsink will be installed in.
I thought, maybe, the bracket/base plate which comes
with this heatsink may not be strong enough
to hold it up (In the ATX configuration).

... Such a heavy chunk of copper suspendid over
my PCI cards and PCI devices ...

Question: Would you know of a company which mkes
a more heavy-duty bracket/base plate?
I don't trust the bracket/base plate which comes
with the heatsink.

Thank You.

Awaiting your response.

Here is a metal one. EDIT: That link won't take you to the page. Hit accessories in the left column and the metal bracket has a link on that page.
