Im gonna go the cheap way to get my cable modem in my bedroom and just buy a REALLY long cable, instead of upgrading my router to a wireless one and getting a card. 🙂

Where do you reccomend that i can get some good length CAT5 cable for a decent price?
 
Hmmm, why not have the cable company run coax to your room. If there is an outside wall in your room, it is very simple to run the cable to it. Sending you a pm about the cable anyways.

I have coax in my room, but the cable modem is in the computer room down the hallway with our other 4 rigs (this is just a temporary thing for the summer). I just wanna use my lappy in my bedroom 🙂
 
i tried to beat fatbaby's price - i couldn't.

pretty nice price for 100' cat5 with plugs and booties on each end.

besides - whats the price for a decent crimper going to be? anyone?

Not too much, & with the kind of work aphex does the ability to make network cables is valuable. Consider it an investment.

Dude, go to Home Depot. The last time I was in the cable section, I saw Cat-5 there. I dunno if they can crimp it, but i'm pretty sure they have an obese spool of cat5.
