Need a good cheap place to purchase about 500 - 1000ft of reliable Cat5e cable. Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy?

Why would anybody be using cat5e? The year is 2009, cate5e is completely obsolete. A dead technology. You will not be able to run 10 gig on it.

10GBASE-T will work up to 55 m (180 ft) with existing Cat 6 cabling and up to 45 m (148 ft) with existing Cat 5e cabling. In order to allow deployment at the usual 100 m (328 ft), the standard uses a new partitioned Category 6a (a.k.a "augmented Cat6") cable specification, designed to reduce crosstalk between UTP cables, known as alien crosstalk. Some manufacturers of cable have released "Cat7" cable which is specifically marketed for 10GBASE-T compatibility and claims greater shielding beyond cat6a specifications.
