Best I can do to help you, is get you a replacement heatsink, if that is all thats broken. I replaced a CPU the other day in a Pro, so I have a spare heatsink by lucky chance.

Chirpa, unfortunately it goes beyond the heatsink :-(

Here's the area beneath where the CPU is where the heatsink would mount over if the motherboard was in place


Here's the mounting standoff that has the broken screw (the same that sticks up in the picture you posted) inside. I tried slotting what was left of the screw, but it was so weak it twisted away to nothingness when I tried to turn it with a screwdriver.



This is baaaaad. The mount is pretty well useless with a screw stuck in it. Can't put the cooler back on the board at this point. Would you guys be willing to sell me a case with nothing in it? Just the bare metal - I don't know what else is going to work at this point because there is no way to replace the standoff / mount because it looks like it is part of the disk assembly below.
