Procambarus Marmorkrebs.

aquabid.com, plantedaquariums.com, aquariacentral.com (usually someone has them for sale on there), ebay.com, bluecrayfish.com (user badflash breeds them) and crayfishmates.com. And increasingly enough, one of Petco's and Petsmart's wholesalers have these mixed in with regular feeders... so if you're good with IDs you can pick them out of feeder tanks very easily.
Don't use marbledcrayfish.com though, unless his prices have changed it's excessive shipping charges and he promotes misinformation about the species.

Cool. Thanks! Ever kept them before? I don't really visit the invert forum, but I have been on enough to know that you are very knowledgeable. Any info would be nice so I know what I am in for.
I've kept them for a while now, I currently have two (which unfortunately were "wild-caught") and assorted juveniles from two berries (such little tiny buggers right now lol).
Anyway, you're not in for a lot, just your basic cray care. Just be prepared for a lot of offspring (if you don't have a means for disposal, you should look into one before hand) every 2 months or so. Most people use the offspring as feeders for fish or other animals. Unlike other cray offspring, I don't recommend giving them to a LFS merely because they tend not to disclose or give proper information on this species when reselling it, and there's already issues with wild populations that were introduced into non-native areas (in theory, by dumping by hobbyists).
But other than that, not much. I recommend checking out www.marbledcrayfish.org (not .com) and the dr.'s blog (also listed on that page). He's currently researching marmorkrebs and puts up a bunch of useful information from time to time. Also, http://thecrayfish.forumotion.net/marmorkreb-general-information-f41/general-info-t76.htm
