Intel X25-M OEM vs Retail

I notice a bunch of places selling the OEM version for pretty cheap, as low as $223 shipped. But my concern is not having the mounting hardware i'd need to install the drive in my case, which is why i'd like to have the retail version which has all this included. As a middle option i was thinking of finding a place to cheaply buy the bracket/mounting hardware. Or where's the cheapest place to get the retail version?

cheapest i've seen for the retail version is Amazon at $244 shipped but it is not shipping till after christmas but they will let you backorder it.
 
Or just use some tape or velcro or zip ties or something. It's not like there's moving parts involved. 🙂

No kidding, thats what I did. Using tape, that is. 😉 It was merely supposed to be a temporary thing but two months later its still there.
 
i have one G2R5 and one G2C1... I've got the retail mounted on the plate and unless I can find another one someone doesn't need, i'm just going to double-sided tape the OEM one to the retail one 😀
