Title: Good place to buy cables!
Post by: leapinlew on November 27, 2006, 01:06:40 am
I was looking for some cables for my bartop and I needed shorter versions of cables so they didn't take up much space. I found a 1 ft. VGA cable for $3.74, 1 ft power cables for $2.00 and 1 ft extension cords so you can plug in multiple transformers into a power strip for $2.16 (they look like this: http://www.national-tech.com/popupspecs/10w1-04201.htm (http://www.national-tech.com/popupspecs/10w1-04201.htm). Shipping was $4.34.

The site is www.national-tech.com (http://www.national-tech.com) and they have a minimal $10 order. I'm not sure who others use for these kinds of cables and I don't think the demand is very high. They will work perfect in my bartop where space is a premium inside, and I think they could help in cocktails too. (The VGA cables coiled excess takes up a lot of space.

There was a thread on another section of this forum about wiring and someone listed monoprice.com (http://monoprice.com) and I made sure to bookmark that page for very similar reasons.

I almost exclusively use www.trianglecables.com for all my cable needs.  Not sure how I found out about them but they are awesome pricing, great quality, and really fast shipping.  I just checked though and they don't have anything as short as 1' for VGA cables and such.
