Where can I get some decently priced KVM cable sets?

I just bought a Belkin 2-port KVM OmniView switch, but I have no cables. Belkin has the all-in-one cables, but the short ones (6-ft), are $34.99 a set! For two of those, I'd be paying over $65, which is more than I paid for the damn switch. Plus 6-ft is way more than I need. The two computers I'm connecting are side-by-side.

Buy.com has several, search on KVM, and they have Belkin, Startech, and Linksys, I believe. They had a 6ft set for about $10. The Belkin sucks because the kit is 3 separate cables, where the other companies mold the 2 PS/2 and VGA together except for the last foot or so at each end - keeps down the cord tangle.

NewEgg has 6ft KVM cables for $8, and 10ft for $11. These are good cables -- they look to be the same as the cables I bought from Onvia over a year ago. Quality is quite good even at 1280x1024x85hz, which is the resolution I run my systems at.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I found some cheap sets around in my area, but they are the one's with the separate cables for each. I might have to get those all-in-one cables.
