Radioshack person didn't know what I was talking about... so anyone
know the real name for these connectors?

Yes, I know this is a o/c group, but I figure o/c guys would know
about this with all the LED mods going on.

Thx for info on this!

Sheesh...I am an electronics hobbyist, computer tech and overclocker and
I really have no idea what type of connector you are talking about. A
bit better explanation might help.

What you want comes in two parts. The housing and the contact inserts; non
polarized connector housing with female crimp pins. You crimp the wires to
the female inserts, then put the inserts in the housing. The connector on
the motherboard is an inline (2.54 mm) pitch male header with 0.025 inch
square pins.

I get mine at a real electronics store, the kind that caters to TV repair
and such. Lots of racks with lots of bins of parts. You might bring
along one of the connectors to make sure you're finding the right one.
If you've messed with them enough tho, you should recognize them.
If you can only find a longer connector, and have a steady hand, you
can trim it down.

The technical term is connector thingys.
