You can always post a "looking for" thread on this site. Lots of people have converted over to LED's and probably have some good T5 fixtures they could part with for a good price. A good T5 fixture with the right bulb combination will grow anything that LED's can you just don't get as much control, have the shimmer effect and have to replace bulbs fairly often.

Yeah, I figured we might as well put the money we would spend on the T5s plus bulbs into an low-mid range LED unit. Just replacing bulbs every 12 months is something that is bothersome and can get expensive.
