Try your local computer dump store, or a garage sale. There are gazillions of computers around with all sorts of jumpers in there, so you shouldn't have trouble finding what you're looking for.

Ah yes, the actual jumpers.

Well I raid them from any old HDDs, most have at least one.

Yep, you need to find a computer graveyard or a secondhand computer shop.  As Piru pointed out HDD's are often a good source.  SCSI Hard drives often have the small ones on them.  I'm not surprised the computer shops don't have them.  I've never seen anything like that in a PC store.  You'd have better luck at an electronics shop.

You can get those jumpers new from toby.co.uk (http://www.toby.co.uk) for a decent price
