Creative Ideas for Copper Plates

Tyreal · March 7th, 2006

I stumbled upon a horde of thin (2-3mm) copper plates. I'm not sure if they are pure or have some other metals mixed.

Now, what can i turn them into? They are too thin to be made into any type of heatsink... but what about heatspreaders?

All ideas welcome!!! 8)

I've seen people make HDD cages out of copper sheet. They would probably help to transfer the heat from the sides of the HDD's a little better than the steel or aluminum that most are made out of. You could also probably solder copper heatsinks to it yourself and make lots of really cool custom heatsinks (like for a chipset or something).
