First find a small town near your area that has a local Circuit City or  
Good Guys (ie. your typical Audio/Video/Computer superstore).  Then go  
there as quick as you can and buy one.  They do get distribution but  
unlike the big cities or mail order houses who do get lots more, they  
don't have as much exposure and have thus a smaller customer base.

Two weeks ago Bellingham, WA ... Circuit City had 5 in stock
Last week, Good GUys had one last one ... it was a SCSI thank goodness
Any mail order house for the last couple months have had a 6 wk backorder

My 2 cents, ...Mike.
