Anyone know?

I'm looking to get cables of at least 10 meters (actually, 27 or more feet is ok). Good quality would be nice, as I never wanna change em again (they're going in the wall). However, ideally, I'd like to keep from paying more than $200 for the set if possible.

Thanks. :)

Get in contact with a local electrician or go to home depot or similar type of store.

Home Depot also has bulk CAT-5 cable for $0.14/ft! Saved me a bundle!

Component Cables. Like these:

Trying to get something better than the Monster Cable 3 8m cables ($140-170).

Home depot has any and every single wire you can think of *nearly* they don't have all of them fancy smancy networking and computer wires, but damn near close to covering everything else. Anyhoo, just go to the electrical section and check it out.

Just got back from home depot. No component cables. :(

Might have to end up buying from bettercables.com. $216 though, sheesh.

I sent you an e-mail but for the rest I would check out http://www.avcable.com. Price for performance is great. I would not spend that kind of money for better cables IMHO.

Thanks, got the email. Alas, it's a bit too late, my cables arrive tomorrow. Unfortunately, the cables are going in the wall and ceiling. I plan on never replacing these again. With 3' cables, I probably wouldn't care. With nearly 30', signal degredation is a big concern. Kinda sucks, I normally wouldn't pay that much for cables either.
