Intel Socket 478?
Get a coplete aftermarket fan assembly. If it doesn't come with the
mounting base, get http://www.suntekstore.com/goods.php?id=10008102

BINGO, that's the base. Now i just need to find the stupid little
clamp I lost.
Most of these things are just to make assembly faster, like snap-in.
In general, a bolt washer and nut will do the job in most cases.
