    Meritline sells the SATA cables dirt cheap and the power cables for them too. The only issue you have to wait 2 weeks for them to be shipped from Singapore. The deals were really good no tax and free shipping.

    5-pack of Serial SATA cables $5.00 free shipping
    4 Pack Serial SATA Power Cables Dual $3.99 free shipping

    lol no thanks, i already made my order from newegg, and i am already going crazy waiting for my stuff to arrive now, and its been a week, waiting 2 weeks will turn me into a psycho path lol. Online shopping is my secondary place, but its best buy FTW.

    PEACE

    Online shopping is 99.9% better than going to Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, Office Max and whatever is left out there to buy electronics. To jump in your car or have mom or dad take you to the store type of purchase. Newegg and Meritline both ship from CA. Meritline also ships stuff from Asia to the USA since some stock is not available in the USA. I know waiting for stuff to get to you takes time. But you can get a bargain prices online better than you can in retail store. I live in a State where I don't have to pay tax on orders online unless the seller has business in this state, then I have pay the taxes. I order from Meritline, Newegg, Amazon, Buy.com, Midnight Box (this guy ships quick by FedEx). There is so much deals online you can't believe it. Last year I only got one item from BB which I had got it online from their site and then drove over to get VIP parking at BB because I had ordered online. Even HSN offers no tax if you buy online and the free shipping and flex pay sweeten the deals.

    So waiting a week or two won't kill you. Amazon has it's prime shipping where you can get 3 months free if you know how to do it. I had 4 months free, and they ship the items in 2-day UPS or 2-day FedEx. I've gotten items from Amazon and Newegg in the next day! They ship quick.

    Anyway happy shopping at Best Buy!

    Peace to you too!
