  Just about any decent computer parts vendor should have them.  Radio Shack
and CompUSA might have them, too.  If you frequent local computer sales
shows (http://www.ncshows.com), you can get them for cheap cheap cheap.  
Otherwise, try your local neighboorhood whitebox vendor.  If all else fails:

  "CD-ROM drive audio cable" seems to be common.  Be warned that while there
seems to be a fairly reliable de facto standard for the connector on the
drive, there are a couple different connectors one will see on the sound
card side.
