Cynicalsomething Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Should've went to newegg. I second that. Newegg owns :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrThodt Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 Should've went to newegg. Newegg has **** in stock for SATA cables, especially ones that work with Seagate drives. I wanted the Tripp-Lite 90 degree SATA cables and dual power adapter. Ok I checked again and I suck at math and it's late. But S/H is still ridiculous. EDIT: And whats with Tax? Amazon isn't in the same state as me, are they in Cali? Doesn't Cali charge for internet sales now? That's also ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrThodt Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 That is nuts. Usually I get free shipping from there. Well one reason I was also shopping Amazon was because they have the Sennhieser(sp?) PC150 for $36 free S/H (3 week delivery though :no: ) @ Newegg they're $56 You accually bought it... Should've shopped around Hell no. But Amazon and Buy.com are the only ones with the SATA cables, AND the headphones that cheap. However my Buy.com order would not submit. So I wen't to Amazon and the 3 week ship date, when I seen the S/H price, I cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threetonesun Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Neweggs shipping wouldn't have been much better anyway, they usually charge $4-6 for small items shipped ground. I bought some lights and rounded cables and had to pay $4 for each of the :pinch: But that's how they give you free shipping on the expensive stuff :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 3 small cables, send it in a damned USPS envelope for $6. Why they don't quality. These items are from a seller other than Amazon.com and are not eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping. Well if they aren't from Amazon, Amazon shouldn't list the damned things, hate sites like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamend Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Have you tried Tiger Direct? I dunno about the US site, but I can get 3 SATA cables with ground shipping for $35.53 Canadian. Edit: Oh, and it usually takes 4 to 5 business days to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrThodt Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 How about zipzoomfly? Nope :( Here are the cables... 19-in. Serial ATA (SATA) Signal Cable 7Pin/7Pin, Straight/Down 12-in. Serial ATA (SATA) Dual Power Adapter Cable The reason I want these is because theyre high quality (unlike the ones that came with my A7N8X-DLX) and fit properly with the Seagate drives. Most dont fit correctly if there is a SATA power connector next to the data, so they only work if your drive uses molex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
