Mod Supplies?

Hey, I'm about to start work on organizing the wires for all the miscellaneous led mods for my cube, and for that, I need some wire, but I have one problem. Where can I get it? What Radioshack's got is very limited, 123leds.com wants a fortune for theirs ($.50 USD/foot [1/3 metre]), and none of the hardware stores seem to have anything smaller than 14 AWG. What I'm looking for is stranded, about 25 AWG (or however big the viper's solder wires are), that comes in many diverse colors (red, black, blue, green, orange, pink, purple, etc.) for under $.12 USD/foot. If anyone knows where I should look, great, please tell me. I'm clueless.

For my led modding I have used some wires of old LAN Cable. They work great!

Yeah, I've used cables from cat5e, but the insulation on the stuff I have isn't think enough, doesn't have the colors I'm looking for, and the wires arn't stranded, it's a single copper core.

eh... As I said before, the radioshack near me has almost nothing. Guess I'll end up paying $.50 USD/foot (1.3 Metres) at 123leds.com.

Well, Radioshack I know doesn't have the small wires I need. Nor does lowes. This probably means I'll end up driving out to home depot in Jacksonville (1 hour away)

Well, I checked a little on their site, and they have some phone cable that contains 4x 26 AWG wires, stranded, with the standard colors (black, red, green, yellow) so I'll check them out tommorow. See if the radioshack has them.
