check with a scrap yard, alot of industrial electronics use huge heatsinks and they get sold to the scrap dealer if the device breaks.
I think i have one huge heatsink at work that is in our scrap bin probably 24" X 40" with 6" fins.

i will be placing my orders for power supply,drivers, luxeon led and some cree led for a DIY array for my 40glns reef next week.
i will be detailing the progress in the DIY section. i have been testing some of them in the past month. i love the colour i get from the royal blue and whites. the pfo led light system is out of business and you can build one for half the price.

with MH problem, temperature control,bulb replacement every 8mth, high bill,not the output colour i like.
LED array is going to replace total lighting in my reef. i will be posting everything starting next week,there are few companies i am looking at for best rates. for starters the purchase is going to be pricey but cheap in the long run. there are few good posts to read on LED setup at http://www.nano-reef.com/ of course under Lighting Forum read  66 LED guide heres a couple companies i will do business with www.heatsinkusa.com/ http://www.futureelectronics.com/ http://www.advancetransformer.com/ http://www.arrownac.com/ i will have a better idea about costing in few days i got a few led for samples wow they are
