The new heatsink for Julie's computer arrived today (a day earlier than forecast, probably because the part was already in the Chicago area), so I installed it tonight around dinner. This was a little bit of a challenge, because the design has changed a bit with the newer model of the heatsink, but I eventually interpreted all of the pictures correctly and got it tucked into place.
The computer is now back in its place in the basement and substantially quieter than it was with the stock heatsink from Intel. :)
Julie got to observe the process, because it is good to learn how to fix your own computer.
