I'm working on a thermoelectric cooling project and I need to find a good sized bar of copper. I need two 2.5"x2.5"x.75" solid copper blocks when finished. I was wondering if anyone knew of any online dealers that sell copper that would work for me.

That's a little small. The peltier I'm using is 62mm (~2.44") so anything around 2.5" or larger will work. I just found http://www.onlinemetals.com. They custom cut pieces, but the prices are pretty steep. If I go with them, I'd use aluminum instead.

I'd say that aluminum is a bad idea for TEC plate - better use copper or these flat heatpipes.
