Is there such a thing as an extension cable for a monitor? I am talking about the cable that plugs into the computer of course, not the electrical cable. If there is such a thing, where can I get one?

A HDB15 M/M shielded cable can be found at your local PC shop, or here

Um...wouldn't an extension cable be M/F? Or am I forgetting something.....

Thanks for the quick replies. I checked over at PCCables.com and it looks like they have some even cheaper. They are all M/F so I assume that was a typo. Now, do I need a VGA HDDB15 M-F or a Super VGA HDDB15 EXT M-F (3-coax)? The monitor is a brand new 15" MAG LCD. The vid card is a 32MB DDR Radeon.

I'm thinkin you need the more expensive one, for less signal loss from your cool vid card to your bitchin monitor.
