Is Pawtucket, RI too far for you? Jabour Electronics might have one, but I'm not sure if that's any closer to you than you-do-it.

If you cannot find anything locally, I would recommend picking up this:
http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9718
It is a USB cable with a built in FTDI Chip. Very good support for Linux and Windows alike.
They also make cables that can be found at www.mouser.com that do not have the 6pin .1 header, but bare tinned wires.

Unfortunately, eli is almost entirely computer stuff now, they used to be randomly good for surplus. Thanks to all replies! I ended up heading to you-do-it. They only had some MAX clone ICs, but good enough, worked out in the end.
