Where can I get Aluminium for my sandwich?

Hi folks,
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on a great site! I have been reading here for a while and have been really impressed with how well your topics of discussion have been covered.
I have purchased a couple of Panaflo fans which are working nicely (one at 7v in my PSU and the other at 12 (for now) which replaced the thundering monstrosity that came with my Thermaltake Volcano 7...), and now I can hear how truly noisy my Hard Drive is. (regular Maxtor 40G).
I am wanting to experiment with an aluminum sandwich but called a metal shop and was apprehensive about the +$45 they wanted to charge me for the two pieces of bread.
I live in the Vancouver area (Why are there so many Vancouverites here? We must like quiet so that we can hear the mountains and the ocean, Ahhhh...) and would like some suggestions about where to go for bits of metal. Or if anyone close has some that they are not using anymore and would like to get rid of cheaply...
I think that it would be of benefit to compile a list of resources, particularly for these kinds of DIY projects. I do appreciate the "build it yourself" aesthetic and have done this often, but after spending hours trying to find parts and driving all over town, spending $45 on a SilentDrive box doesn't sound so bad.
Thanks for your help and keep up the great work!
Paul
