Yeah, mission accomplished. You'll fit right in this thread, though.

Don't hate on him because he's right PBJ. Everyone has their own needs, no doubt, but all things being equal you can't beat the full blown 100+" home projector experience.

I don't think that we will ever convince Jim. Then again, if I fit in with him, I should probably go back and delete my post. >:D

I put two HDMI cables at $3.50 each into my cart and the shipping was $7. The same cables were $3.50 shipped on Amazon.
Monoprice is awesome for a lot of things but you can beat it for small orders.

Yep, I was able to beat monoprice on a 6' hdmi cable including shipping at Amazon. Surprised me :) I'll check both from now on.

That brings up a fair point. Is all that expense worth it for a man without kids? A family spends $60 at the movies. A single guy spends $10-12. How many $11 movie tickets do you have to buy to pay for that home theater setup? 200?

There is definitely a break even point with Monoprice. Then again, unless you have Amazon Prime, you still have to spend $25 at Amazon too in order to not have to pay shipping. I have found that around that price, it doesn't matter where I go. Ordering from Amazon with free "super saver" shipping will get my the stuff in at least a week. Monoprice, usually 2 days unless I order the 1st thing of the day. I also trust the quality of the Monoprice stuff. To get a cable for $3.50 shipped on Amazon either will generally take longer, or be cheap quality from my experience. Not saying it is all junk, there are many good nuggets out there.
One big benefit to Amazon is that I buy stuff from them all the time due to their product variety, so I can tag on a cable or two and not have to pay shipping as long as I am willing to wait for it to actually ship and get to me.

If it's only current movies, perhaps.
What do you all think of this site, and price?? (Have to register an all that to see shipping I think.)
