Actually I have wondered how much profit there is in the making of the blocks, since it seems extensive time is involved in milling them out. No, I am not interested in going into the business! But, I find the the business interesting.
You guys have most likely explored this idea already I'm sure.

go to my site at
www.custom-cooling.com and there is a few articles Fixittt wrote up about the cost in the links on the left.
And molding will be very expensive. The cost to melt all that copper is very high for small amounts of blocks. If you where making 100,000 at a time and where able to sell that many in a few months it would be profitable. But 5-30 at a time would push it up to $200+ per block roughly.
