Where do I find Advertisers?

Hi there. Ok:

- I've got the website (1600 tech pages and 300K page
  impressions per month as per WebTrends).
- I've got the demographics (99% male with 80% with
  incomes above $50K).
- I've got my assistant (girlfriend) helping me sell ad
  space.
- I've got the ad server already serving up 'dummy' ads
  on the site

Other than big houses like Flycast, etc. where can I
turn to sell advertising space on the site? We're
trying to hit potential advertisers one at a time, but
this seems to be a very slow process. I heard that
there used to be a website on the net where advertisers
and sellers could meet and list their wares, but this
seems to have disappeared.

I've been watching this list for some time to see if
this question would come up, but it really hasn't. I
don't really want to 'sell-out' to Flycast for $2/CPMs
- it's not worth it. My viewers are high-income
do-it-yourselfers (we're the internet's largest
Porsche/Automotive site) with very high incomes. I
would normally think that this type of demographic
would garner higher CPMs.

Any thoughts from anyone out there?

Thanks,

Wayne
