View Full Version : Where do you buy cables?

Since I got rid of the PS3 and 360, I can simplify my entertainment center now. Problem is that I have a built in entertainment center in my living room, and the pipe the cables are supposed to pass through is a little too long for my existing cables.
Where do you guys buy your cables? In the past I've seen people suggest a few places that seemed like they had great prices, but a search for "buy cables" brings up too many posts for me to wade through.

Monoprice most of the time, but slickdeals.net will post any good deals.
I got a 3 pack of 6' HDMI cables this week for $9.99 with free shipping. The thread included a 10% code, so $8.99 (+ tax, because the site is based out of California, or at least they ship from here)
You're gonna see a lot of support for monoprice. I've also used Blue Jeans (http://www.bluejeanscable.com/).

WOWZERS those are some excellent prices. Thanks guys, I'll be ordering from monoprice from now on.
The only bad thing is that I feel ripped off for pretty much every other cable I've ever bought.

Blue Jeans and Monoprice both rock. I will say this. For most things, go with Monoprice. They give you wholesale. Blue Jeans if you have a particular need for a high end cable, these guys make them not just warehouse them. Most importantly, Blue Jeans will cut your cables to order. Too long, bunched up cables, are major fire hazards, get them the right length.

Their shipping rates are not the greatest. New Egg, if you are making other purchases, has great prices as well. I got a bulk order of PS3 and HDMI cabling not too long ago from them because of their great shipping rates, even if the cables were a few bucks more than monoprice.

I went into a Best Buy on a first date once, and I swear everything had been going excellently until a salesdude tried to sell me a 60$ HDMI cable. I told him I wasn't interested, and he pressed the issue, using jargon to make it sound like his magic cable was worth sixty bucks. Since he pressed it, I explained that he was lying to me and I didn't appreciate it, and walked off, and the girl I was with thought I was the one being mean to him.
Fuck him and fuck her. Monoprice all the way.
Monoprice is good, but they're a bunch of cocksuckers.
Whyzat? Bad experience?

I love Monoprice, but I've also used eBay and found the same cables for cheaper. Cables are often over rated and over priced, i.e. FUCK MONSTER CABLES. It just reminds me when self proclaimed audiophiles liked the sound of a wire hanger better.

That's why we were in Best Buy. You think I'm mental? She was picking up a DVD.

Yeah. I've gone there and the dude that runs the company is a complete fuckface. Not gonna say anymore, but he's a super-douche.
