My CNC control computer quit for the umpteenth time due to CPU
overheat...

The little plastic tabs that hold the cooling fan to the CPU keep
breaking off. I found a way to clamp the cooling fan back on when the
first and second one broke. Friday the third one went. Spent most of
the day Saturday getting a backup computer running. But, I should get
this repaired.

OK, its a SOYO SY-P4I84PE ISA motherboard. Here's a link that shows a
picture of it:
http://tinyurl.com/kd7mr2v Note, I can get a used one on eBay for
only $495 or a new one for $1295. guess they won't give ISA slot
motherboards away. I just need the little plastic base that goes
around the slot 478 CPU and the clamp levers (lost one). This has GOT
to be a part used on other motherboards. Anyone know computers well
enough to know what scrap MB to look for?

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

Could you use an aftermarket gamer cooler?
Amazon shows several under $10, or you could spring for a "Scythe
Ninja" for $60.

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.
