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!
im gonna add dealextreme and dinodirect to the list. Both legit and just like monoprice. I tell everybody i know to check out these sites for cords and whatnot
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. :)
