Has anyone ever taken one apart?  I thought that the reason they were so
high was because of the way they are made.  From memory,  I think that 
it is casted with the heat sinks part of the pipes, welded and covered
up with sheet metal.  I don't know if the manufacturing process is what
drives up the price considering it is just pipes and sheet metal.
