Xserve Raid Spare Parts/ Raid Controller

What fun! Xserve Raid parts are starting to drop like flies...

I have seen 2 Raid Controllers, 3 Drives, and 1 Cooling unit go down at 5 different sites in the last ten days...

I have found a few places online that have the entire spare parts kit for around $1800.
I have found the Power Supply alone for $400.

What I would love to find... is the Raid Controller by itself.
(and 250GB drive modules "yeah right!")

If anyone has a source, or insight... would be much appreciated.

We had a few parts go out this fall, we were still able to purchase them through GSX.

apple has to provide parts up to 5 years after the last day they were sold from my understanding, you should be able to get them from resellers.

The RAID parts will be Obsolete ("Vintage" in California) come March.
