I tip my hat to Mr. Rollins but the plain and simple fact is there has to be some astetics considered if my better half will consider it's residence in our family room. I consider myself fortunate that she has not objected to the X250/Thiel 6.0 combo residing in the living room. In anycase I may be interested in four of them if a group buy forms.

Kilowattski/Grataku/Coulomb:

I'm saving my four pieces that I bought from the last group buy (was it year 2002?); hopefully one of these days, I would have the courage to built the Aleph-X. I'm wondering, did any of you three built the Aleph-X yet?

Not as yet, I built a 10W Mini Aelph though, and I have to say it's impressive even at 10Watts.

Here is some pricing for the larger 9012 Profile. All pricing is for 50 pc. order. Everyone adds $1 to cover the setup charge.

6" $34.04 CAD
12" $61.03 CAD

The above is black anodize, Clear anodize is a couple of bucks cheaper.

Please remember this is a much larger profile than the 9019 and is quoted @ 12" as compared to 11".

I like the look of a square Heatsink,
9019 11x11
9012 12x12

You can see the profiles listed above as well as some thermal plots. The 6" profile is an interesting option capable of dissapating 90 watts handily.

I am looking to buy for myself $300 to $500 worth of material in a combination of 6" and 12" 9012 in BLK and CLR.

Okay so here is a little info on shipping costs. Hit this site and calculate your costs. Use L9G 4L5 as the ship from in Canada.

Max wieght per shipment is 66 pounds, each 12 section of 9012 is 11.9 pounds.

For box size Use 3" for every Heatink x14x14

So 4 x 12" would be 44 pounds 12x14x14. This shipment varies from $40 to $80 depending where you are in the US.

Arizona, Texas and California are up around $75 for 44 pounds.

This same shipment travelling in Canada would be $30 to $50 approx.

Canada Post

I will have to pay 13% taxes on the total purchase from R-Theta

Everything I have quoted is in CAD dollars.

You have some time, I would like to engage R-Theta with the next 30 Days, Period of Quote.

I understand your hesitation regarding shipping costs. These are very heavy Heatsinks, most States in the US could get 4 Heatsinks for $40 CAD, but you guys that are way out there where the nice weather is have to pay a lot more.

The unusual thing is I can ship to Vancouver, BC for $38 but Washington State is $77.

Now I live about 45 Minutes from Niagra Falls, if there was a US Member that was willing to drive up to pick up US orders and mail them from the US, it would probably save a lot of bucks.

So it looks like the 9012 anodized Black in 6" and 12" lengths should be the focus to get the numbers up and not get fragmented by to many choices.

The price breaks are at 10, 25, 50 and 100. All pricing is in CAD $, 13% taxes will apply. There is a setup charge of $50 per order regardless of the quantity ordered, which will be divided amoungst the number of buyers.

6"
38.23
35.50
34.04
32.27

12"
68.54
63.64
61.03
57.86

I am in for 8 @ 6" and 4 @ 12"

I am not sure if there is enough interest to start a Wiki, just send me a PM with your contact info and address so I can keep track of how many to order. When I am ready to order I will send mail to the interested parties with the costs including taxes and shipping.

Regards

Anthony,

Does 13% tax apply to international orders too? Last group buy in 2003, R-Theta collected money from each member, and sent heatsinks to each individual buyer. I don't recall I paid tax in that groupbuy.

I'm in for 4x 6" and 4x 12"

Thanks for the work!

I had not arranged individual shipments with R-Theta as I did not think this GB was going to be of the same volume as the last one. I can make a call to them and ask if they will. I can not see them going to the extra effort as I don't think based on the response so far we will even hit the 25 each plateau.
