Does anyone bother to use Molex connectors (for quick disconnect) when building DIY lights?

I've heard that they're a good idea to reduce salt "creep".

I currently own a Helios 220w PC that uses 4-pin molex connectors.

Where can I obtain these or similar connectors?

PT109, I use Molex connectors with all my wiring, it makes life nice & easy to disconnect stuff for service or cleaning. I got mine from a good friend that works for Tico, they supply for most oem companies like Ford electronics, Active, Radio shack etc. it cost me about $10 for 24 connectors 12Male & 12 Female and you can ask for diferent guage/thickness of wire.
