Home Depot if you don't mind making your own clippy things on the end.

EDIT: sorry, I mean putting your own clippy things on the end.

Try cnaweb.com. I order from them a lot, and they have great service!

take jumpr's advice, go to Home Depot. BTW the clippy things are callled crimps.

Get the plenum cable if you're running it through walls.

I bought 1000 feet at $.06 a foot at yardbirds. That was about a week ago.

Newegg: I got 100' Cat6 (just for the fun of it instead of Cat5) for $22 shipped. And comes in lots of colors.
