I've bought lots of various things from mono price, they are very reputable. One other thing to consider, if you have an older laptop or other computer to dedicate to the job, you can put it close to the camera, and then remote in from the main computer. The Ethernet USB extenders also work very well. Haven't tried using them with the power line Ethernet adapters, but that also might be a way to work the scope from the comfort of your couch during the cold weather. Dan -- Sent from my iPod.

That is what I'm talking about! Harbor Freight is much closer to actual value. $39.95 for a 3' HDMI is just not something I'm going to pay. (frugal, not cheap) Steve From: chuck.hards@gmail.com

If you have never seen it before. Check out http://www.monoprice.com/ from all I have heard a very reputable company who know that something like a HDMI cable is a cable not an investment. I purchased a 15' HDMI cable for 33% of what the local Best Buy sells a 3' for. It didn't come in a beautiful package with gold lettering but it works perfectly. Steve
Thanks Steve, I'll check them out.
I buy my HDMI cables from Harbor Freight, when a coupon comes in the mail. 6' cable for something like $6. Last time I got as many as the coupon was good for, still have a few in storage unless the kid got to my stash. 12' for $11.
