I need a few wires...

1: I need some sort of audio jack cable that goes from my pc to my built in speaker monitors (I got the mon 2nd hand and cable didn't come with... and I didnt think until was too late)... The socket on the monitor fits a regular headphone jack (I'm not too sure what mm these are... just regular walkman/cd/mp3 players)
Then I need it to connect to the source which is mobo based: detailed below from spec sheet:
Audio connectors (Front Speaker, Line-in, Mic-in, Center/Sub, Surround Speaker) (SPDIF?)

2. I need a scart cable to go from my skybox to the tv scart (the new tv has plenty of scart socks, the old one didn't so we used those fecky scart-to-phono connectors... so now we obviously need a scart-to-scart...

3. A crossover cable that has a bit of length on it, the current one is a bit small... need nearer 8-10m.

The cheapest scart cable would cost 5odd in peats.
Not sure which audio jack (http://www.peats.ie/cgi-bin/shop/db.cgi?view=1&id=329&type=5&path=11x153) but about 6
And the crossover cable: they charge mad prices in town for this crap

So can anyone help me with which audio cable I should try and any place other than peats that offer reasonable prices? (dublin cc)

Oh and while I'm at it I need 1 (max 2) rechargeable AAA bats ... unfortunately they come in packets of 4 to 16, which is overkill and the price a bit steep, so could any1 flog me 1 or go halves on a packet?

For the audio, just get a mini jack to mini jack cable.... They're 9mm in size. Just take from the "Front"connection on your MB sound card. If you need a long cable, you'll ether have to make it up, or find a music shop that'll do it for you. Changed my mind, to complex/long to explain.
