This is a really inexpensive HDMI cable
Would anyone not buy this cable? It seems to inexpensive.
Cheap = Crap. If this one is bad, where would you buy a 3' HDMI cable? |

I probably should not interject myself into a conversation you appear to be having with yourself, but I find monoprice.com a good place to get high quality, inexpensive cabling. |

Hilarious :-) This site offers all the parts, to start making your own cables. This sounds like fun. http://www.pacificcable.com/HDMI-Con...And-Hoods.html It's interesting, that the wire cost of the project, is $1 per foot. That will give you some idea what it should cost to make a 3 foot cable, in terms of the wire. Actually pretty cheap. The connectors on the end, are cheaper for the cable manufacturers, as they're molded onto the cable, and there is probably no soldering step required. They likely use some other means to make the electrical connection, something cheap and less labor intensive. Seriously though, if you want to find people who care about the subject, check the AVSForum. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/archi.../t-640545.html Paul |

I will be out a full 4 bucks if the thing is crap. It was free shipping for that one item. I think I can sleep at night without worrying about getting taken. Thanks everyone BTW I was in Home Depot today looking for something else, but I did notice that the HDMI cable they had was 25 bucks. |

A good source for a lot of components like that is Silcon Valley Compucycle (www.SVC.com). See this page for monitor cables: http://www.svc.com/monitorcables.html They're charging $4 for a 3-foot shielded HDMI cable. In the past, they've shipped such small items for free, but I don't know about now. *TimDaniels* |
