I year ago I bought some nice thick white ones and ones with right angled plugs. But I have forgotten where from - it was a NZ supplier.
Everything is getting thinner and lighter (and cheaper) these days.

807952 2009-09-08 22:06:00 Just had a look at the ones Dick Smiths have on their site :horrified :eek: Theirs (www.dse.co.nz) -- Holy CRAP -- Talk about mark up. More like highway robbery.



Woohoo! I have about $650 worth of SATA cables in the drawer here in the workshop :lol:
Didn't realise they were worth that much.

807953 2009-09-09 03:24:00 Dick Smith have always done that - sell major items at a low markup and sell printer cables etc for a massive markup. They were doing that in the 1980's when I was selling computers. Digby (677)
