Where do you guys buy things like usb cables? I need one about 10ft long and I'm not sure where to order it from, so I thought you guys would know best.
Thanks,

Monoprice.com is the only place to buy cables. Don't even THINK about Monster.

With out a doubt!!!! Everyone should know about that site.
That and the good/used shed at your local recycling center (free).
And I'm not sure but, I think 10ft is the max for USB isn't it?

If I'm in a manic mode, I sometimes just cruise to Best Buy for a modestly overpriced cable.
As far as cable length goes, the USB spec sets a maximum length of 5 meters (a little under 16 feet 5 inches).

eBay mostly.
I've gotten a lot of cables from China/Hong Kong - never a problem. Just takes 7 to 10 days. Plan ahead and save!

Don't overlook amazon either...they've got some nice prices on cables. Everything is cheap! My friend got 3 hdmi cables the other day for $10!

Nice site.
I usually buy from Newegg.com or Tigerdirect. Although I just ordered a firewire adapter from Ebay a few days ago. Looks like I could've gotten it for $.40 cheaper at monoprice.com.
