This thing only weighs 132grams with the fan.
Aluminium weighs a little under 170 pounds per cubic foot while copper is under 560, iron between 440-490 and 490 for steel.
Other metals with similar weight to aluminium are beryllium and magnesium of which beryllium has similar heat conductivity as aluminium but it sure as hell ain't made of beryllium because of cost.
Magnesium has worse conducitivity and it isn't really that expensive in bulk quantities but as a metal it reacts with water where as aluminium costs very very very little in bulk and is paramagnetic and really ductile. And since aluminium is the most abundant metal here in earth..
*Just as an FYI, going back from Nov. 18th this year all the way back to Jan 1st 2009, the average price for aluminium per lb (453.592 grams) has been 0.9039$.
