Anyone know of a good place for a cheap networking cable bundle package. By that I mean like a dozen RJ-45 connectors, a crimper tool, and a spool of say... 100- 150FT?

We are FINALLY getting cable and I have the duty of hooking up the house with a real network (not just 2 PC's P2P like I have now, but 4+ PC's and maybe a server).

Yeah, compgeeks.com is the place to go. I just got 1000' of cat5e, crimpers, connectors, and tester for $50. Well worth it, as it has already payed for itself.

Thanks ssspy007, gruven, and whiteemcee. Checking the linkage now.

EDIT: Looks like computer geeks has a really good package and a good deal. I tried looking at newegg but all they had was pre-crimped cable. I might not be looking hard enough.

Anyway- $43.15 is an excellent deal for this kind of package.

Thanks alot guys.

Also, you can get pre-done cables VERY cheap at www.cables.cc

I ordered some from them last fall.
