Anyone know a source for the type of extruded aluminum heatsinks
typically found in PC ATX powersupplies, that are suitable for
mounting multiple TO-247 and TO-220 packages? I'd like to find a
place that sells it by the foot and just cut and drill the package
mounting holes. I'm thinking the type with the large horizontal
fins that extend to make it look like a T if viewed from the end.

Several 1 foot (and shorter) sections available here:

You appear to pay a lot more for a big chunk in surplus, so it might be good to figure out what you actually need. $21 for 3 4inch sections seems a better deal than $60-100 for a 12 inch section, unless you actually need 12" all together.

Hi,

Here's a pic of one I took out of an ATX powersupply:

Anyone know of a place that sells similar ones like that but
with larger fins?

cheers,
Jamie
