Connectors, switches etc.

Hello Group,
I've ordered my transformer, cap and rectifier for my power supply
and my Geckos. What I need now is some help on the rest of the
electronic fiddly bits. Connectors, limit switches etc and a box to
put it all in. I have not decided on software yet but it will
probably be Master5 or CNC Pro. So here are some of my questions:
What connectors would be a good choice for the steppers?
What type of switches do I need for the limit switches? How about
connectors?
I'll be using the Rev1 201 Geckos. Can I set up an E-stop with these
or is it done on the PS? How?
Should I install a cooling fan in the case?
Has anyone combined the PC, drives and power supply in one case? Is
this a bad idea?
Other than the power cord, on/off switch and parallel cable connector
is there anything other switches, connectors etc. I'm missing?
I've read some posts about using a resistor across the cap to bleed
off excess power when not in use and another about using the same
resistor in series to slowly charge the cap. I also recall mention of
using an LED to bleed off the cap. Is any of this necessary?
Thanks,
Jay
