    You might look at CompGeeks.com; they're good about gear like this. 
Until recently they even carried 40M drives.  No, not new ones, but when
you're relagated to older equipment, you have to trust people.  :(

    Although I've had problems with them myself, you might be able to
slowly phase out those machines with 'Jammin-125's' from
DisklessWorkstations.com.  No hard drive, no moving parts, actually-
they'll never need to be updated, and they're not as expensive as a new
computer...and they'll work with the monitors you already have.
