Where can one buy individual low-power processors for HTPC or similar DIY builds?

Currently I'd be looking for i5-4590T, i5-4690T or i5-4670T, but this is something of a general sales channel inquiry.

Almost all of the S/T processors are just underclocked/undervolted versions of the standard models which you can do yourself fairly easily.

There don't seem to be T models at standard vendors but the S models can be gotten at places like newegg, but they really don't gain you anything now that turbo is on all the models. Ironically, while the K models use more power at peak, Tom's determined that they use less total power to accomplish a specific task, so you are likely better off just undervolting a standard chip.
