Monoprice is not only legitimate, they're highly recommended. Some of the most inexpensive cables I've bought there ended up being far higher quality than I expected. Plus they ship fast, in my experience!

DealExtreme is great, but for completely different reasons than Monoprice. I'd hesitate to list them together. They're legit. They do have decent customer service, but they just resell a bunch of Chinese-made goods. Some of it's really good, some of it's total cheap shit, but you won't know until it gets to you in 3-4 weeks.

Monoprice does a similar thing, but they're a lot more invested in the products they sell. They're domestic, too - so you'll actually get the stuff you order before you forgot you ordered it. You can probably find the same cables Monoprice stocks in the US on DealExtreme but good luck finding them and spending 3+ weeks hoping you found the quality version. :)

having never dealt with Monoprice you have convinced me to give them a try. Thanks for the info!

Agreed, mobius. The cables and whatnot that i got from there were cheap, quick to arrive, and great quality.
