    Folks

    Does anyone have any good links to Irish or other sites that sell cables and adapters

    HDMI
    DVI to HDMI
    S-Video
    Scart
    USB
    etc etc

    I just dont fancy paying PC World fortunes for cables. I was wondering if there was a good cable seller online perhaps with cheap or free delivery?

    Hi DNME,

    Maplin Electronics would be a good place to go for adapters, although you can get a cheap HDMI for €9.99 in xtra vision (plenty of threads on here about the merits of cheap vs expensive HDMI cables)

    Many thanks although I have to say, Maplin are another retailer that really make their money on peripherals and accessories so cables there are bloody expensive.

    With modern digital kit, there is a lot of rubbish spoken about quality - gold connectors etc. Any decent quality cable will do as the signal either gets to its destination over a certain noise threshold or it does not.

    There are places online where I can get decent HDMI cables for 3 or 4 quid which is perfectly reasonable, but I hate the 20 quid delivery......

    So my question remains
