Can anyone tell me if these HORRIBLE little clips have a proper technical name and where I might get some (in the UK)? I've got some lager ones designed for holding motherboards in place, but this is MUCH smaller for an onboard graphics chip heat sink.Many thanks

HelloThey are called pushpins and are the devils spawnI could not find where to buy them separately but these are complete with heatsink, you may be able to remove and use them.http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?lang=en&site=UK&WT.z_homepage_link=hp_go_button&KeyWords=HS308-ND&x=28&y=19You may be better off using these nylon bolts also in 2mm sizehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-Nylon-Plastic-M3-Screw-Kits-42mm-Bolt-Nut-Washer-/270544532440?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_BoatEquipment_Accessories_SM&hash=item3efdb5f3d8
