DVI cables

Any one know a good source for some low cost, good quality DVI-D cables? I wanted to get one cable so I can use my LCD monitor with my laptop.

I can't believe it, I actually had a DVI-D cable. I thought it was a VGA cable. It came with my new Dell LCD monitor.

The worse part of it, I already order a cable from monoprice.com and it has been shipped out, LOL. No biggie. Nothing wrong with having an extra around.

Now I can use the dual view with my laptop and Dell monitor. I will say though, things look sharp with the DVI-D connection to the LCD monitor.

I just got the monoprice DVI-D cable today. Yes, it's a better build. I couldn't put the cable through the monitor cable management hole, LOL. Some know on the cable, probably some kind regulator, was too big. The new cable is a dual link with gold conntors, and the one from Dell is a single link with silver steel. Just funny that's all.

Better build or not, they will both perform the same and probaly last the same amount of time.
