I had hoped someone had that exact model for sale by order somewhere but I haven't found it yet.
BTW, I found that metal Skoal can lids are the perfect size for a groundplane. I stuck a new BNC end up through a hole in one then put a piece of wire in it for the element. I used the crimp tube to hold the lid in place. The entire thing was held in place by a bent piece of aluminum with a couple of Wal-Mart suction cups on it. It works great for a quick antenna to slap on the back of the laptop and actually performs fairly well.

Neat idea about the Skoal lid, but please don't tell me you're pumping 2.4ghz through a BNC connector? Please say that was a typo.
I would read up on what diameters and depths of parabolic dishes work best and then roam through a supply store with a tape meausure until you find something. Woks are normally great parabolics, and they're normally made of excellent metal.
I wouldn't shop at Pier 1 since they're gonna be way overpriced cause you're paying for the name outside the store.
