CGTalk - Hot Swap Adapter

I have a ton of standard SATA drives that I need to get into a new Dell Poweredge 2900 server. Where can I get a hot swap adapter (carrier) so they will actually fit right. Dell will not sell me the carrier, when I asked why, they said "so you won't buy the hard drive from someone else." If I can't get a carrier from someone else, I will call dell back and scream, and if I don't get it then, I will return the F-ing thing. I'm so pissed right now.

Nevermind. I called up a buddy of mine, and he told me that CDW carries them. A company called Datastor refurbishes them. $72 a pop though, ouch. No wonder Dell was trying to sell me 700gb SATA drives for 400 each. I got mine for 180 each plus 72, so I still am out ahead.

I hate you dell.
