NoGooD Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Wow Krayzie, you scored man. I was showing a buddy of mine the Blackhawk earlier today and noticed the price went up $10 and they are charging $9.99 shipping. Good think you ordered when you did. Score! btw..curious why you didn't get your HDMI cable from monoprice or bluejeanscable.com? Both are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefke Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 btw..curious why you didn't get your HDMI cable from monoprice or bluejeanscable.com? Both are excellent. Wait, there is difference between hdmi cables I'm still rolling with my cheapo 2.5euro cables (only 3m/10ft), using it only for tv to htpc , xbox to tv and ps3 to tv. I can imagine that on those longer distances there might be a difference though. Still have to lol when I see hdmi-cables (also 3m) being sold for 100 euro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect to shielding and how tight the braid of the copper is on HDMI, I'm not sure how much difference there can be as long as the cables are within spec. I've heard on longer runs, like the 50ft that Krayzie is running it becomes an issue. Anything under 15ft shouldn't be though. It's one of the reasons I recommend BlueJeansCable and monoprice. They have good cables for cheap prices. I believe they are only in the US though. I have to laugh when I visit a store and hear the salesman talking about how much better the quality of a 3ft Monster cable that's $150USD is than the $10 off-brand.

Krayzie Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Well if worse comes to worse I'll just run a 50ft Ethernet cable instead. But I chose it because it has good reviews for that length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krayzie Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Everything is working right now. Still waiting on my sdd and HDD to come in. Running CoD I'm getting 400-500FPS. Cable management looks like shit. Will just have to work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
