Just look in the phone book under "metal - scrap" or wherever people bring 
"big" scrap aluminum too to get a few bucks for it.  The place here has 
"tons" and many look "just like" heat sinks ;-))  You may have to saw it 
and all, but big pieces of aluminum are very common on the "cheap" 
market...  The guys here have a band saw that could chop my car in half 
(not a small car...)  Sort of a "just point to where you want it chopped 
buddy" thing...

Cheers,
