I am looking to buy some S-video and component video cables for my theater setup. I don't want to buy the expensive Monster Cable stuff that CC and BB have.

Are the cables available on ebay of good quality? Any personal experiences?

Just hooked up my HT setup.

Sony Receiver
Sony 36HS42- TV

I bought my cables at Home Depot and Fry's. Even after shipping I may have spen a $1 or 2 more per set but I think I got very good stuff.

Home Depot Sells 6ft RCA Component Video cables for $16.95 but were out of Optical cables. I paid $19.99 for a 6ft Phillps cable at Fry's. The lower levle Phillips cables were $12.99 for Component Video and their premium Phillips stuf was $16.99 - $19.99.

Plus I have the added benefit of retrunring cables which I ended up doing at Home Depot.
