Rang a few places I know of.

Basically costs are:
(Thick x width x length)
Copper:
12.7mm x 50.8mm x 1m = $107 AUD (approx $55 USD)
12.7mm x 101mm x 1m = $181 AUD (approx $90 USD)

Perspex:
4.5mm x 1m x 1m = $100 AUD (Approx $50 USD)

Barbs:
Approx $3 each ($1.50 USD) (from a truck place down the road, have not looked at a proper supplier, just this small place)

This means that each CPU block (8cm x 5cm) costs about $20 AUD ($10 USD) in materials, this has some wastage and tooling cost factored in.

I havent looked at mounting.

How much is perspex and copper costing you guys? Do my costs look reasonable or high or nice and cheap?
