I bought a pack of 3-pin fan connectors, but they didn't come with metal inserts. I'm converting fans over from molex connections and bare wires to 3-pin connectors, so I need a number of these. I can hardly find them for sale anywhere.

Someone suggested a local electronics store, but I called a couple and they didn't have them.

The only place I can really find them is here:

They're $1.00 for each connector/3-pin set, before shipping. Not the best deal, but what I'm going to have to go with if I can't get some help locating them.

Anyone know of a chain of stores that carries them? Or a place to buy them online cheap (just the metal inserts, 20 or more in a pack)?

TIA
