Where to buy silver?

PunkRawk911 · 12-08-2003, 03:59 PM

Like the title says, can anyone tell me where I can buy silver to make a block out of. OnlineMetals doesn't carry it, and I couldn't really find anything on google.

EBAY.COM

They have 1oz coins, about 1/8" thick, 1.5-1.75" diameter(cannot remember)

they also have 10oz bars, I beleve they are around 2x3x.25" but dont take my word for it.

I dont know about regular silver bar like you can get copper and aluminum in...

Well, I would think you could get them somewhere with silver versions of the cascade waterblock being sold.

Cathar got the silver bar stock off of ebay last post i read although his source might have changed

you'd probably be better off going with Copper though since the temp difference is only .5 C according to him

well you are missing the point -- silver looks cool and few people have one.

Yeah, unfortunately, gold has crappy heat conducting properties. I'm not going for "bling-bling" I'm going for a good waterblock.

you can make it silver and plate it with gold.

Maybe encrust it with a couple rubies and gems and what-not while your at it.

Once again.....
No bling-bling fer hizzy shizzle fer me, dawg.

but that way you get the superior thermal properties of the silver, plus the bling-bling properties of the gold and rubies. So you can have your cake and eat it too.

I want to put a long gold chain on the rad.

Anyways, I ended up getting some 1 oz silver bars off of ebay for like $5 a piece. I know it probably won't be big enough for a cpu block, but I plan on making a gpu and NB block of it.
