Yeah, he is right you just can't cut the pipes and extend it. There is fluid in there, I think its refrigerant........I forget. Anyways, the first idea you had would make the heatsink weigh a f**kin' ton. Try to keep your idea simple, and to the point.
If you had a simple saw, you can make your own cuts. You don't have to go and buy a power saw to cut through copper. Or a dremmel even.
