There is an easy solution. You can get radiators designed for computer use online that have copper channels for well under $30-40 if you look around. They aren't the greatest in the world, but they work. Similarly, you could just go with a BIX and save yourself some hassle. Really, keeping to similar metals is NOT a difficult thing. It just costs a little more. Yeah, you could gripe that you want to do this on the cheap, but in the long run, if your equipment fails because of substandard parts, you end up spending a hell of a lot more than if you just put it together right in the first place. A high end fully copper system would cost less than $200 USD if you looked around. You could probably do it for significantly less if you bought WC parts used from other WC guys who are upgrading.
