I need a simple SCSI-1 cable, which I found here at a reasonable price:

http://www.cablesamerica.com/product.asp?cat%5Fid=6406&sku=07928

Unfortunately, there's a $20 minimum order plus once you add up S&H + tax, it's already around $18ish or so. I could pick it up locally at Fry's for $20 + tax.

Amazon has it for $12 but the sale is actually through affiliated Office Depot, pushing the effective price over $20. You only get free shipping on actual Amazon.com sales (of over $25).

Any place online that I can purchase this cable for $16 shipped or less? Otherwise I'm likely to head back to Fry's.

Edit:
I'd actually prefer to purchase it locally (South Bay area, L.A.) at a reasonable price.

Thanks for the suggestion. If you have a spare, I call dibs. ;)

I did a search in FS/FT and didn't see much hope, but I'll post a WTB thread there and see what happens.

Anywhere between 6 and 12 feet should be fine. I'd prefer around 6 to 9 because the cable mess behind my PC is already bad enough. I haven't actually measured the layout yet, but I'm pretty confident 6 foot is gonna be enough. Right now I'm stuck w/ the 3-foot cable that came with the scanner, so the scanner is temporarily lying on the floor next to the PC. My intention is to move the scanner onto a nearby cabinet.
