I'm looking for some inexpensive copper sinks to use for various
projects, such as adhering some to suspended HDDs for thermal
transfer, etc...
Anyone have a cheap source of copper sinks of varying sizes?
TIA

so far this place looks to have some decently priced smaller cooper sinks:

Or I could canabilize the sink from this:http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/item/13188
ack... 9-bucks to ship it though
No copper, I have access to tons of aluminum HS's from old 486's and pentium 100's. You know those old 2-3 inch squares. But they are really only good for cutting up into smaller ram and fet sinks. Although if you know how to drill them acurately you could use them for oversized SB sinks as they redily take about any fan that allows the screws to sit within the edges.
I have a bunch of these types. The smaller ones in the front make excellent ram sinks as the base is very thin and the fingers are fairly dense. And they weight almost nothing.

Boy that info was old. As am I. Currently my kids have taken over my desktops. They are both sporting matching GTX1080's. Last Christmas I got everyone Oculuses and thus GTX1080's. My eldest is some sort of CSGO champion gold label something or other. Me I work and shoot real guns. Build Comps as needed.
All you would need is some Thermal glue or if a non permanent solution is desired then you simple drill mount holes or make a contraption that holds the sinks in place. Like a few rubberbands or something.

Before you go sticking heatsinks to hard drives, I want to make sure you have read the Google research paper on the effects of heat on hard drives. The heats you'll see in most consumer and enthusiast enclosures are well within the range that is good for them. The basic idea to impart here is that we all know they fail most regularly due to mechanical failure, and mechanical failure is most likely when everything is cooler (joints are stiffer, lubricants more viscous, etc).

Serra has a point but I don't think this guy has any plans for going sub-ambient In the end though there isn't a whole lot of need for hard-drive sinks, just a little air-flow and they'll stay under 40C.
u shouldent need them use smart to moniter the temps and they wont go into the 80c range unless u have a sealed box thats non conductive like a wooden crate

according to Everest, my hard drives are at 25°C right now. even the hard drives in TiVo's aren't cooled. they just don't get that hot.

Will the torq of a spin up/down cause a suspended drive to swivel? Or doent it matter.
