I read the following project/mod article with interest
Effective Passive HD Cooling
so does anyone know where I can buy the Aluminum channels used in the project? I live in SF Bay Area. If no specific recommendation for a store, then how about a 'type' of material? Aluminum window material? Sliding door material?
Thanks! Chris
Where to find aluminum for HD Heatsink?

Don't be afraid to cruise your phone book for Sheet Metal fabricators. They may even be willing to give you pieces of the size needed for a HDD sandwich out of their scrap bin.
If you have no luck locally you can also buy online. I've bought lots of stuff from McMaster-Carr Supply Company If you want it they've got it, and shipping cost isn't too bad either.
