found those two on ebay:
3.4v
[www.ebay.com]

and 12v
[www.ebay.com]

i think that 12V could be better because it pulls less amps...
what do you think guys?

It would depend on how you are planning to drive them, but everything type of electronics I have seen recommend 3-5v steppers.

The 12v would work but be slow.

I was planning to go with RAMPS since i have Mega 2560 laying around, but it seems to me that steppers are the hardest parts to choose.
