Do you have any idea how expensive a solid block of copper that big is?

    If that block is roughly 4.5cm x 4.5cm x 25cm then the volume of it is about 500cm³ which translates to 4.5kg of copper. At 11€/kg that makes about 50 euros.

    Copper isn't that bad. It's not cheap exactly, but it's probably going to cost what an expensive CPU cooler already would.
