Component cables

Where are some deals on 6' component cables? I need one for my HDTV setup.

Well, it really depends on where you want to buy them. I can get them at my local best buy for about $30. Here is what I'm using and they work very well:

One note though, don't get too cought up in "premium" cable like Monster. They are over priced. Just get the best cables you can afford.

The cables that Chris linked to are exactly the same ones that I use as well. Highly recommended!

http://www.mcmelectronics.com is also another good place to find very reasonably priced cables.
