    ?  But that's not a USB cable at all...

    It's a Blue UV Power Supply 3 Pin Fan Extension cable

    Hi Knave,

    Ouch, the shipping is like 3+ times the price of the cable, huh? The thing is, we don't usually do cables for e-Blast so I don't think this will be a deal. I hate to say this, but the best thing may be to go out to an electronics store and buy it there because shipping on cables is unnaturally high online... :( Sorry about that! :(

    If you do go to a store  for them, don't go to a big box store. Cables are a big scam with them; they over price them because no one realizes that it really shouldn't cost $45 for a six foot USB cable. A smaller, mom-and-pop-type store would sell cables more reasonably. However, even if shipping is equal to or greater than the cost of the cable, most times that's still cheaper than buying them at a store.

    Case in point. I needed a 4-pin to 6-pin firewire cable. At Best Buy it was about $40 for the length I needed. Online (on NewEgg, I think) it was $3.99 with shipping at the same. But $7 for a cable bought online with paying for shipping is still cheaper than $40 at a store. I know the shipping seems crazy, but most times you're still saving money
