If you're thinking of the large ones used in portable computers and the
like, my impression (I have no personal experience with this) is that
the cheapest way to get one is to buy a portable computer at a closeout
sale and rip it apart.  The companies that make them basically don't want
to talk to you unless you're ordering in quantity 100000.  Driving the
things can also be a bit tricky.
