LGA 771 cooler

[Nollan]

Hey!

After seeing the brutally cheap computer Linus build with old serverhardware I wanted to do it but build a home server. 
I got hold of 2 xeon cpu 4core, motherboard and RAM. 
I now wonder if you have any tips for the CPU cooling. Socket is 771 but I'm all for modding. The keyword is cheap. So far i spend 1000sek (100euro) and I would like it to be as cheap as possible cause I'm a student ATM. 

So, can I just buy two cheap heatsinks and mod it on with sipties? 

Sorry for the bad spelling, I'm Swedish

Here is the motherboard:  http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000P/X7DBP-i.cfm


Best Regards!

Here is the cooler that Linus used (i think):

Its probably rubbish and loud, but it will work.

Yes you can just zip tie them on, I zip tied a stock amd cooler on as shown in the pic below. Much cheaper than buying LGA771 coolers as they are kinda expensive
