pogo pins
hack up a laptop and the matching dock connector.

If you know a good source for prefab pogo pin connectors, please let me know. I looked a year ago and it was disappointed how little I could find. I shelved a modular panel project idea over it.

TopJimmyCooks:
There is none.  That is why I love mentioning it all the time.  you can't get in the door with pogo pins for less than $50.  for all the connections for a whole cp probably more like $75.  At that point a couple of dsub 25's off an old printer start to look pretty nice. 

Vigo:
I hear ya loud and clear, man. Maybe someday someone will produce these.

My local electronics junkyard sells these ATX extension cables for $1. Its the cheapest and best way to make a cable disconnect.

I've used them in some modular electronics projects. Its a simple but very effective way to quick disconnect a multiwire device.

Just cut the middle wires and you have a 24 wires to play with.
They are available online at newegg or ebay..
