This post is more about a discovery than anything else.

First, some background: We installed our home theater over the past couple of weeks.  We’ll put together a separate post about the components we installed our observations and considerations, but that can come later.  Part of the project led us to needing to purchase some audio/video cables to throw a signal from the Apple TV/DVD player up to the ceiling mounted projector.  Cables that are high quality and cover a good distance are also really expensive.  I was referred to a website called MonoPrice that seems to have it all, at unbeatable prices.

MonoPrice is an organization based out of Rancho Cucamonga, CA.  Their online storefront marks their prices at significantly cheaper than any other retailer that I have seen.  Take for instance a standard USB cable.  Staples sells a 6′ USB 2.0 A/B Cable for $20.98.  MonoPrice?  $1.20.  Wow.

This meant that the 12′ 5-RCA Component Video/Audio Coaxial Cable (RG-59/U) cable only cost me $7.47 at MonoPrice instead of the $35.99 Best Buy version (and that one didn’t even have the composite audio, it was purely composite – 3 channels instead of 5).

I don’t make any commissions for advertising for MonoPrice, so I’ll stop campaigning.  I will say, though, that you ought to give them some business.  They are a good company.
