quick question, best place to find spokes?

I want to start my wheel building process by trying to lace a fixed gear hub onto a 27-in araya rim that I took off of a Schwinn world sport. My intention is to eventually be able to convert some of the older 10 speeds I find to fix gears without having to buy new wheels. But, anyway, I wanted to know if there's a good place to get spokes? I checked a few sites and found 34 sapim straight gauge 2mm for about a $1.50 each with shipping. Wondering if this is the best I'm going to do.

I hope this isn't violating any rules but if it's not kosher to recommend shops or sites in these forums then maybe someone could just pm me?
