Could make the whole casework out of copper as someone suggested. However, Cu is almost three and half times denser than Al and so would be 3.5 times heavier for the same dimensions. Better heatsink than Al but much more expensive. Rather soft so would scratch very easily. Oxidises (tarnishes) quickly - get out the Brasso!
Can anodise it but can look dull. Apart from that it would look fantastic! Dan D'Agostino uses copper side-cheeks with Venturi cooling (holes) as heatsinks in his amps - black and cooper look great.
