Monoprice is A+.

Buy with confidence, they are good to go.

My entire home theater is wired with their cables. It's not so much that they are cheap, everywhere else is just ridiculously overpriced. An HDMI cable SHOULD cost $4, not $40.

So true! I heard that alot of the profit margin for these "guys" (like Best Buy etc) is this extra stuff. I know that I have bought the high margin stuff when I am buying a componant and need the cable too.

Markup on cables at Hi-Fi stores and even Mid-Fi stores like BB is phenominal - hundreds of %, sometimes even thousands depending on the cable/accessory, that's why it's so easy for them to give you a "good deal" on cables and accessories when you buy a package, and they still end up making a killing on the cables/accessories. Percentagewise, it's their best moneymaker.
