Where to buy copper?

[NickNack]

Hey guys, this is my first ever thread, so please be patient with me.

Anyways, I want to make my own water-blocks for water-cooling, and I wondered if anyone knew of any decent metal suppliers who sell small quantities of copper sheet/blocks. I don't want to have to buy a metric ton of the stuff, cos that's just silly. Google wasn't much help.

Oh and I live in the North Norfolk area if that helps.

I tried on eBay, but its not really what I'm looking for. the sheets are too thin to machine out grooves and pins for the block.

Metelec looks promising, ill wing them an email. I am most certainly in the UK.

Before I forget my manners, thanks for the reply guys
