Cheapest 5.6mm can diode out there?

[GBD]

I need some 5.6mm diode cans (open or closed, it doesn't really matter) for thier package, rather then the diode itself.

Anyone know what are the cheapest diode(s) out there on the market?

(Id rather not go hack apart random CD drives, while they will yield what I need, I have no source for them cheaply/free)

Cheers.

Ask some of the webstore sellers for the useless IR diodes off of the sleds.
