You may want to try http://www.txcesssurplus.com.  I have purchased 
several Dell surplus components for older machines there, and have had 
pretty good luck (fast shipping).  It appears they may have what you're 
look in for in-stock:

The listing doesn't say how many they have, but perhaps you can scrounge 
up the 3 you seek.

Cheers and good luck.
