is there some problem with copper fins? copper is much more thermally conductive than aluminum right, and thus a better radiator material?
watercooled 1u servers! that would be cool (har har).
i was thinking of not bothering with soldering, just drilling holes in the copper sheets and then interchanging them with washers or something on the copper tubes. you might loose some conductivity from tube to fin this way, but not so much if its tight right?
