Identifying a connector...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of connector this is? I needed to replace the wires and thought it might be simple to reuse the original clips inside, but that ain't happening. These things are too darn small. I know the photos are lame, but they're the best I can do without a magnifying glass.

The closest thing I can equate it to is the type of connector you'd find on a cordless phone battery pack, except its four-wires.

I'm pretty sure its one of these. Don't know what you'd call the connector, but they should be easy to find in older computers. It goes from the CD drive to the motherboard or sound card.

It's not a speaker connector. That's too large...

I completely forgot I had a scanner here, so I put the parts on the scanner, along with a CD-ROM audio connector for comparison. The wire on the top right came out of the connector on the bottom right. That's the one I'm trying to identify.

All of these were scanned at the same time, so they are all at the same scale. I just cropped out the empty space between.
