Best place to buy spokes?

I need cheap spokes. Lots and lots of cheap spokes.
Must be white in colour with the standard bend (NOT straight-pull). A bladed/aero shape would be nice, but not essential.
I need about 700. Anywhere I can get them for a bargain?
Any particular brand "better" than another?

700? Are you starting a new business venture?
All the same length? Maybe for that number that the importers of SAPIM http://www.sapim.be/index.php (in the UK www.chickencycles.co.uk) or DTSwiss http://www.dtswiss.com/ (UK www.madison.co.uk) may sell you them direct, especially if it's likely to be a regular thing that you need so many spokes. Otherwise see if you can do a deal with a LBS to buy them at cost or slightly over cost.
A bladed spoke is 2-3 quid if bought singularly or a pack of 20, but I'm betting wholesale cost will be less than half that.
FWIW, I bought some DT Aerolite Spokes from here:

but they only show black on their website
