I'm a bit bored. What do you guys think I should do with this aluminum plate?

It'd make a pretty cool heatspreader for a SB - cut more grooves in and hey! Low profile HS

I used it as a cold plate for a tec, but the tec is gone now. Its about 3/8s thick. I was thinking of a water block or something.

I imagine you could rough up the top a bit for turbulence, then add a cap/top of sorts to it to make the water block.

cool mosfets, make waterblock, use for straightedge for sanding on top of, cut grooves and use thermal tape for backside-of-vidcard cooler, cold plate, ram sinks,
place on train track and hope for a heavy train to make shims out of it...
