As your profile does not (yet) contain your location, I can only offer general guidelines:

1) Your local electronic supermarket. Fry's, if you are on the West Coast of the US, possibly Radio Shack.

2) Search online using Yahoo! or Google to find a seller that can ship to wherever you live.

I asked that question a while back, james pretty much confirms that you can get it at Radio Shack.

It's getting more and more popular. Soon CVS will carry it!

The best thing about AC5 is the tube it comes in, it can be used more than once and securely closed. The cheap, white pastes often come in tubes that require cutting the top off to open.

It's not like I use the paste every day, with AC5, it will be available when I need it again - assuming I can find it!

I've never bought my own tube, but the syringe I used didn't have anything to close the end off...Does it come with a cap of some sort? I was reading about Zalman STG1 and their selling point was that it can be sealed, unlike the other kind.

I picked up a tube at CompUSA for about $12. It's 3.5 grams (I think) and does come in a syringe with a nice rubber cap that prevents it from oozing out everywhere. I used it yesterday to do my T40 Dothan upgrade.

I'm not from or in Singapore, but maybe try some of these places:

Computer components - Orchard Road

(FYI: found using Yahoo! with search string of "singapore orchard road computer components")

(edit: Also found references to Sim Lim Square, but every time I tried to visit those web sites, Firefox locked up accessing images from a Singapore server.)
