in response to the discussion on why fins on hsf's are made from aluminum instead of copper, i would say its probably because aluminum is stronger (higher modulus of elasticity) than copper - basically it makes it harder for the noobs insalling their cooling gear to bend those fins (that would much more fragile if made from copper)
