Can some one help me buy some connectors for my mb?

I bought a makerbot 2.4mb and drivers from a seller in europe. The board arrived with the components, but does not look anything like the blue boards the makerbot sells. It also didn't come with connectors. So much for saving a few bucks. I'm looking for a 6 pin IDC pin that connects the stepper drivers to the mother board. And I'm looking for a connector that connects the stepper boards to the motor. Could some one please point these plugs out on an online catalog like jameco? Thanks.

Motor headers should be these:

[de.rs-online.com] (header)
[de.rs-online.com] (connector)
[de.rs-online.com] (crimp pins for the connector)

Taken from the Gen7 Wiki page.

BTW., you can solder all wires directly into the board, of course. Not pretty, but reliable.

I personally would not solder wires directly to the board. That makes maintenance a nightmare.

Thanks guys. I found some and they are on their way.

I do have a question though. I have my motherboard and arduino mega plugged together. I plugged in a 20 pin atx power supply.....and nothing happens. No lights, etc...what's going on?
