I've mostly solved the cable problem using monoprice.com. They are about 25% the price of a radioshack or other intown store. So when I place an order I buy 3 of everything I might need and keep them in a box, including a couple really long examples of each cable. It's cheaper for me to keep inventory than to buy local. I use the long ones temporarily if I run out of "right length" and swap when the next order comes in.
The best part is I don't have to listen to the nice young men try to upsell me to gold plated connectors. It has lower resistance! I swear I'll sprain my eyes if I have to keep rolling them like that.
Don't miss the iPhone sync cables at 1/12th Apple's list price. You know your family needs these.
- nitrogen 17y agoUpvoted for how relevant this solution is to my own cable needs. I definitely don't miss the cashier trying to convince an electronics entrepreneur with engineering in the blood that 6' $80 HDMI cables have a noticeable quality difference. Still, I haven't found a good source for prototype project boxes in Radio Shack's price range. Can anyone recommend a low-cost rapid-prototyping plastic case manufacturer?

I thought of those immediately after reading your post.
