Default Metal Place

Where is a good place to buy metal? Preferably silver. Thinking about making a custom heatsink . Sounds stupid but I'm not gonna plop it right on my cpu. Just going to test it and see how it is. Was thinking of using copper sheets but thought maybe if I can get cheap silver will use that.

Thanks, I was thinking of maybe getting a thin layer of silver, putting some as5 on it and putting it on bottom plate of a heatsink, then putting as5 between the silver and cpu, and see if there are temp differences. Probably not but why not.
