The fact that it's easier to machine is one benfit to the newbie for obveous reasons. And since there will be lots of mistakes made at first, the fact that it's cheaper is another benafit.

2nd that
Also, some people may even like the color of alu more than the color of copper
and, my first noob block I've made (is in the pic-sticky) outperforms a lot of copperblocks that were custom or even commercial so don't go copper for the better heatconducting
and f*ck soldering for waterblocks (unless you need the heattransfer that is), stick the sh*t with some epoxy or even silicone
