Because we're based in the United States, we refer frequently in this topic to parts
available from Adafruit, but if you're not in North America,
ModMyPi
, a UK-based
company that sells Raspberry Pi accessories and parts, might be a better bet for a lot
of your needs. They deliver internationally with an expected wait of three to seven
days, which isn't bad if they have something you can't find anywhere else.
ModMyPi sells a
more traditional-looking set of alumnium heat sinks
with a small piece
for each of the three heat-producing areas. No glue required for this one—they attach
with provided thermal tape.
A heat sink alone won't change everything, though. If you have it sealed up inside a
case (other than ones like that above designed to be or complement a heat sink),
you're just sending the heat a few extra centimeters away—not that useful. Make sure
your chosen housing has appropriate air circulation.

HACK 62
As of this writing, the Raspbery Pi camera module does not yet officially
work with Pidora. That doesn't mean we can't make it happen anyway.
