Is it the cables, or the connectors themselves? For the cable, you can just use small speaker wire. The connectors are available here (http://www.frontx.com/order_c.html) (that's three times this week I've recommended that site...).

Hehe If you had a wire wrap tool, you don't need no stinkin' headers...


Hehe just kidding, go with the site xmastree suggested of tear them out of an old case. They usually only come with cases, although _some_ motherboards come with extras.

(oh, and you still need the stinkin' header, since that's the part on the mobo...)

Those are a bitch to find. I'd go down a PC repair shop and ask if you can cut them out of the cases they're chucking out. That's how i get mine!

I gut my own cases. I have a few scrap cases sitting around that are basically useless. I normally pull them from those.

Talk to your local electronics recycler. If you're nice and give them a couple of bucks, I'm sure they'll let you pull the wiring from cases that are headed off to be recycled.
