I don't know why, but I busted up laughing when I saw that angled PCI slot. :laugh:

I suppose the question is - where do I buy 36" cables for less than $8 each? Newegg is obviously out of the question. I need 12 of the damn things.

http://www.pccables.com/cgi-bi...1617&rsite=f.01617

Shows 40-inch cables for $2.75 each.

Which, again, with shipping, comes out to be more than $8 each.

Is there ANY retailer with any common sense as to shipping cost on small items?

8 x 40" cables from SVC.com is $34 shipped to me.


Maybe you are in BFE...?

Probably, but I'm not sure I follow your math. If I put 12 into the cart, it comes up with $7.06 shipping, for a total of $40.06. Last time I checked, $40 divided by 12 comes to $3.33, which is less than $8.

Ah, I was lazy and only typed the "1" for single quantity shipping. Most places just multiply :roll:

Much better deal.
