You can search for any item on eBay, then tell eBay to send you an
eMail if anything matching that search gets posted in the next 90 days
(time frame may differ now)...  then you can use a sniper program to
bid your absolute maximum amount in the dying seconds, and you'll save
yourself some money.

That way, you don't have to keep going back and searching for each and
every item you want.  Remember to use wildcards so partial strings get
matched - don't know if eBay would return LSI21040 if you searched only
for 21040 and not *21040, for example... but you can tinker with it.

People call me all the time for obsolete hardware - but eBay is
definitely the best place.  It's a world-wide garage sale!  Too bad I
don't get referral fees from eBay.
