    Monoprice.com for all your cabling needs.

    Ive mentioned this in the past, and try to as much as possible, but for the love of God, when you buy cables, use Monoprice.

    I had to buy a USB 2.0 A/B cable for a printer today, but I needed it asap so I looked at some of the common stores like office max and best buy, and they all want 25~40$ for a gdamn 6ft cable.

    I knew Monoprice would be cheaper, but since I needed it asap, I didnt bother looking at it first. But when a cable costs 40$ I can wait and extra day or two.

    As I figured, the cable I needed was under $2 at Monoprice, but the overnight shipping was 30$, so I settled for 2-3 day for $4 for a total of $6.

    But yeah, just a friendly reminder, if you ever need any sort of cable, buy it at Monoprice, and save your self alot of money.

    BB has a nice discount, but not a 90% discount.

    Well, it's what I was told a few years ago atleast, might be diff now, dont really pay attention to stores anymore. Newegg, Amazon and Monoprice is all I really need for electronic stuff.

    Im not sure I could justify the huge price difference to buy one on the spot instead of just waiting a few extra days lol.

    Monoprice is the only place I buy HDMI cable from. You don't want to get ripped off at Best Buy by paying $80 for something they sell for $4.

    Again, not Best Buy but a company that is owned and operates very similar to it (Future Shop), but our discounts are cost+10% and on stuff like cables where the markup is HUGE, there is no need for Monoprice. =)

    Monoprice is dope, found out about it from SephYuyX awhile back when I was needing DVI cables. Usually retail, in store a 15 foot DVI cable is like $70+ dollars. Got it for 15 bucks shipped.

    I just bought a 42' LG 1080p HDTV to go along with a PS3 I got for xmas. The guy at bestbuy tried to sell me a 100$+ monster cable for it, but I'm not paying that much. I just tried searching monoprice for hdmi cable but way too many choices, can anyone recommend me a top of the line HDMI cable that will get the full specs of blue ray movies from the PS3?

    Pretty sure I got this one for my PS3: For only $5.07 each when QTY 50+ purchased - HDMI 1.3a CL2 Rated (In-Wall Installation) Cable (24AWG) w/ Net Jacket - 3ft (Gold Plated Connectors) | Premium 24AWG HDMI 1.3a Male to Male Cables

    I love Monoprice. I need to place an order again sometime.

    When I bought my big screen TV I laughed in the guys face at BB trying to sell me any of their cables... especially Monster. Whenever I NEED cables I buy them from BB, go home and play/watch whatever I needed, order the cable from Monoprice in a day or so, and return the cable to BB for a full refund. No wasting time or money!
