I need to buy some HDMI cables but don't want to get screwed by local stores for $50+.

Anyone have a good online seller for cabling?

We needed one a few weeks ago - the local Radioshack had them for a few bucks each.

Personally, I'm kind of fortunate to have a wholesale computer parts warehouse called 3BTech fairly close to me (South Bend, IN -- home of the Fighting Irish) which ships everything for free and being in Indiana, I always get everything next day and 2 days at the absolute latest.  You might start looking or asking around about a local computer parts warehouse or wholesaler in or near Colorado to get cheap stuff like cables, etc.

last couple times i needed an optical cable or hdmi cable i've gone to Amazon.  unlike component cable and the like these are all digital signals so all that touted gold plated shit barely effects performance.  a 12 ft hdmi cable from amazon for let's say $12 is just as good as a 12 ft hdmi cable from Monster for let's say $120.  money well saved imo.

Ugh...I hate that so much.  Thanks for posting this, I wasn't aware this was going on.

Yeah, after working at Best Buy over the summer and looking at these two, I just came to the conclusion they were the same thing(The Dynex(Best Buy Knock-off) and Monster)
