I just bought a few new drives from Newegg to perform an overhaul of my PCs' HDs, and I need a few power splitters, a few rounded PATA cables. Newegg has great prices on hardware, but their cables are highway robbery. A $2.49 power splitter has $5.00 shipping buying a 2nd power splitter adds another $5.00 shipping charge. So, I'd buy $10 in parts and pay $20 to ship 'em. Needless to say, I didn't buy any cables from them.

Does anyone have any suggestions for someplace to get low cost cables that have more reasonable shipping policies?

I buy lots of cables from cableconn.com. Don't know if they do rounded cables (never looked) but they've been wonderful for me over the last eight years.
Plus they're in Ohio, and everything they ship me is next-day. :)

Thanks for the tip. I stocked up and bought way more cables than I needed, but at those prices, there's no reason not to. :)
