Default The name of these plugs? Where to find them?

Hey guys,

I'm looking to build a PSU and in the thread where the guy is describing how to build it, he uses the plugs pictured in the image below to do so. What are these plugs exactly called and where can I find them? Says I could use servo leads also but I'm not the best with all this stuff so rather then messing with anything I'd rather just do it how the OP did.

Let me know if you can tell me what they are:

Wow, now that I look at it closely it does look like that. I got confused when the OP said you can use servo leads as well. Figured he was using something else but I guess these are just servo connectors.

They sell them at radioshack?

Weird looking on radioshack.com and can't locate em. I know they used to carry them quite a few years ago
If you have an old broken PC laying around you can yank em out of there they are the same parts that hook the LED's, and switches to the mother board.

I couldn't find them either.

I don't have an old pc laying around but I guess the plugs aren't 100% necessary either.. I could use a switch and just solder these wires directly to the pins I guess. I saw someone doing that on the post I was looking at.

I'll make it work somehow haha
