They are all over the place.  But it's such an easy build/mod that most 
people make their own.

Check out this site.  There are hundreds of ways to make them!

In fact, if you are on this list and don't regularly read 
"www.instructables.com"  you are missing out on some of the coolest 
projects out there!  My only complaint is that you can waste days reading 
and building projects without even knowing it!
