Call Pacific Solutions and tell them what you are looking for.  They can 
probably order it for you.  It takes them about 1-2 days to get stuff in, 
unless it is unusual.

I have shopped at Pacific Solutions for years and I have been very happy 
with them.  Unfortunatly they have lost their Linux-savy techs in the last 
year.  (Not that I ever use their techs, considering how long I have been 
using Linux.)

I prefer someplace close I can walk into in case I have hardware failure 
issues.
