Most electronics suppliers should sell them, though you might have to buy
them in tens or hundreds. they're certainly easy to get here. Another
cheap sopurce is often PC shops that assemble PCs; they get interface cards
and hard drives in them, and tend to throw them away.
The silvered ones are static shielded and static dissipative, the black
conductive ones are static dissipative, the pink ones are not very good at
anything (except perhaps keeping the dust off).
