Wireless is great for mobile devices, such as PDA's and Laptops.

Just FYI guys. You can get cable cut to the length you want, crimpers, and connectors wayy cheaper at Lowe's hardware then you can find any preassembled cable.

Leave the Lowes hardware part out of that and I will consider that good advice.

My 100ft cable that I paid 10 bucks for 3 years ago says otherwise.

Internet = the best place to buy cables. Any kind of cables. A guy that rents a warehouse and stores the sh*t he sales on ebay or on his web site will always offer lower prices than any hardware store or tech store. Mainly because those kinds of businesses don't have as much over head as Lowes or best buy or whatever. They really only have to pay rent and maybe electricity if its not included in the rent.

I bought a ten foot usb cable recently for a f*cking dollar. A f*cking DOLLAR! With free shipping.

I have also gotten a 1,000 ft roll of cat 5 for $50 online. Just gotta look around.

I think Capri got ripped off. Under no circumstance should one EVER buy a USB cable. Steal one from work/school/neighbor etc. $1 is $1 too much for a USB cable. :20:

It was an extension cable. Used for playing madden on my media center pc. Needed some more footage for my gamepad.

Plus IT WAS A f*cking DOLLAR SHIPPED! I could turn around and sell it for $20.
