I finally managed to find a good craigslist deal on a 2008 octad, trouble is, it's missing all of its HDD sleds. I was able to get it up and running balancing the boot drive on the fan assembly, but that is hardly a permanent solution.

All of the places I have tried are charging $30+ shipping each, which seems ridiculous for a couple pieces of metal. Anyone know where I can get 4 of them for cheap?

Really appreciate it :D

You only need 4 if you plan on installing 4 drives.

I plan on reselling the machine eventually, and to get top dollar it will need 4

OWC has them for about $28 each. Transintl also has them for about $30 each but you can select to buy 4 of them for $90, which brings them down to about $22 each.
