Cheap sata cable in manhattan?

June 21, 2011 7:35 PM

Where can I find a sata cable in manhattan at a reasonable price?

It's $3.50 at monoprice and that includes $1.70 shipping. I refuse to pay $20 for a sata cable at Best Buy. I'd prefer near the village/soho but I'll make the trek up to midtown if I have to.

For that matter is there anything like a Fry's electronics here? Where would I go if I wanted to by a motherboard? (besides newegg which is where I always buy my motherboards)

They sometimes come free with DVD drives. Maybe an upgrade would solve both problems?
