You just looking for the plugs? Or are you wanting the face plate? Radio Shack is the easiest for plugs but you may have to alter your design if the exact "panel mount" is not availible... something like this:

I hope you have a electronics store for better selection. I have cannibalized old, broken amps and TVs for such parts in the past.

Do you have a Fry's electronics near you?

Sadly, no, just a radio shack with a quickly withering stock.
