Small/cheap PSU Heatsink for DImension E510?

Title says it all, the heatsink in my E510 is humongous. Anyone know if there are any compatible small ones that work just as well without taking up so much space?

    There are no 'compatible small ones' both the Dell heatsink and motherboard retention bracket are proprietary parts.

    Is there a way  I can reorder these parts? Mine seem to be faulty.

    Sorry, cannot help you with the prices. You may have to buy a fan/shroud unit, instead of just a plastic shroud.

    No, they do not come in one package.

    What I mean is, the case/processor fan and shroud is usually sold by Dell as one unit. The heatsink and retention bracket are both sold separately.

    Thank you very much :) I wonder how much it will be. I only need the hood that goes over the heatsink and the brace that hooks into motherboard itself.

    What do you mean? You mean the fan, heatsink, plastic hood, and brace will come together in one pack?
