@bigben2k: he searches for aluminium extrusion profiles, not for a big Radiator.

@migueld: Aluminium Extrusion profiles like that are really expensive. I wouldn't wonder if you need to pay a few hundred bucks to get two profiles eized like the zalman case in the pic. In Germany we have a Company called Fischer-elektronik, which has a big inventory of industrial coolers including such profiles. I ordered once from them, but its also only for companys and with aminimum ordering quantity.
I don't think you can get extrusions that big at other sources than the Companies producing them. This is one example of the thousands of nice materials which never come into retail and are only available for the industries.
If you are Lucky you can get some old used extrusion profiles at ebay, but it probably takes some time until you find the right ones.
