I'm guessing that your based in the US due to the radioshack query, but for people in Australia good places are

www.jaycar.com.au

www.wescomponents.com

and if your really desperate

www.dse.com.au , but you'll pay for it.

If you plan on spending a bit and you have a good relationship with your employer, get themto open a trade account with WES or Jaycar.  Makes life a lot easier.  Order from the catalogue, order it via fax or web, and then just pick it up.  You get invoiced once a month or so.
