As I mentioned a week or two ago, Tiger Direct is the only place I know of
now.  They re-appeared there about 4 weeks ago, after dissappearing
*everywhere* several months ago, so get them while you can:

<http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1649954&CatId=2040>

That's OEM AFAIK, so you'll need to get a heatsink/fan for it if you don't
already have one.
