Finally up and running! Still some tidying up to do. I got different motors than the openbuilds ones. I got 3 of these ( same spec) for 27$ and 10$ shipping. The wire lead is 29" long. So far they are working well and saved me money! And being from Canada with our crappy dollar gotta save where you can!

Nice! Looks good!
Just a word of warning to you and others, of course you can always substitute parts but just be careful. The steppers you purchased do not have a plug but rather the wires come directly out of the motor. These motors are prone to shorting and/or coming loose if you don't properly anchor the wiring. Just keep that in mind and the motors should work fine!

This is true, however the x, y and z axis which these motors are for, are in fixed positions, the wire never moves as it does with the extruder motor which is the usually the culprit with that type of short. I will put them through their paces and let people know if I have any issues at all.
