A few weeks ago, I took part in the group buy, for some Dorcy jr's.
$29 for the dorcy and a heatsink from Dark_Horse.
We all kinda got screwed, dorcy decided to alter the design of the host. Sadly the custom heatsink that were made, would not work.
I found a pretty cool fix for $4
Still using the heatsink from Dark-Horse. I was able to shove two pieces of copper pipe fittings together, and then secure it in the host. All the pieces fit together real tight. I did have to use a small amount of thermal adhesive to secure the heatsink.
I was able to find these at a local, old school hardware store. Unlike places like home depot, they have every thing loose, not sealed in packages.
You can go in and just play around with stuff, until you find what your looking for.
