Ack... Xeon "retention system" needed.

 On the hardware side... I'm building a new computer and I recently
bought an A-Trend ATC-6400 motherboard for it. All is good.. this MB
will allow me to use my PII Xeon chip (which is Slot 2... a pain to find
an inexpensive motherboard for lemme tell ya).

 The only problem is, I don't have the "retention mechanism kit" for the
Xeon that comes as an option on this MB and I've gotten no answer out of
the A-Trend tech support people (A-trend support has been taken over by
some other company... I sent them email already with no reply).

 Anyone know where I might find such a beast? I need that retention
thingamajig, a heatsink, and a nice big fan for this CPU before I can
start putting my computer together.

 Thanks for any help.
 Mike
 (oh yeah, I recently burned Mandrake 7.2 to cd... I'll be installing it
on a partition on this machine, my first new Linux box in a while)
