Too bad, I didn't know it was (probably) difficult/impossible to make. That round corner square stuff would work though. My basic idea was to solder some of it to a copper plate and use it as a harddrive cooler like in the pic, but with holes for 10 drives. I could square the middle, and leave the ends round so that they would fit better on the pipe.
Thanks for the idea!
