  the markups on 'premium' cables is pretty ridiculous
  
  i used to work in a place that had em and the cost on those vs retail is 300%+ easy

  Monster cable still isn't as bad as those $4000 audio cables. Talk about rip offs.

  On the topic of overpriced cables, when I bought my laser printer this year, the BestBuy rep tried to sell me something like a 6ft USB cable for $30.. haha. Dollar store ftw.

  Monoprice is a pretty good source of reasonably priced cables, including the kinds that are always overpriced at stores.

  ncix sells cheap hdmi cables... usually around ~7-8$ when they're on special. check those out if you're in need. ;)

  Monoprice still owns them. Besides, I haven't seen HDMI cables on their weekly specials for a couple weeks now.

  There's some feedback here on Monoprice mounts which also includes some other good places you can get mounts from:
