Mani, re: "Plastic can be casted which is very cheap." But wouldn't the additive materials counter the cost savings? It would seem to be a challenge to take plastic + diamond (for example, thanks Bill) and be more effective than straight aluminum which is pretty cheap based on prices of some heatsinks. And aluminum has a pretty low density for weight considerations - though it does sink <g>. (A reference to sink or float games with my daughter.) re: "For some application the build conductivity of the heat sink material is not the bottleneck. As is the fan and the junction between the die and the heat sink." You lost me on this one. Could you rephrase? -PT
