Now all my AV stuffs are on the way to me, I have to think of how to connect them with decent cables.

I know Monster makes good cables, but they are just way too expensive.. is there any specific brand one would recommend me as a reliable, good performing cables? Any tips/things to know when buying A/V cables?

What I'm looking for are:
2 or 3 Component Cables (RCA-RCA) - 1.5ft to 3ft
1 DVI Cable - 1.5ft - 3ft
2 or 3 Stereo AV Cable (RCA-RCA) - 1.5ft to 3ft
Playstation Component AV Cable (preferably with Analog out as well)
Xbox Component AV Cable (perhaps HD AVpack would do it)
Game Cube Component AV Cable
2 Toslink Cable - 1.5 ft - 3ft
1 Digital Coax Cable - 1.5 ft - 3ft

My budget max would be somewhere around 300...

Any suggestions/tips would be appreciated..

Thanks in advance

Radio Shack Gold Series cables are great as are Acoustic Research. I use Acoustic Research component cables, and RS Gold analog stereo cables and digital coax cables. For the Xbox I use the HD pack (of course) with the stock cables (they work fine), and the GC you have to get the official Nintendo cables from Nintendo.com.

I see. I see nintendo component cables do not have any audio cables - how does audio gets connected when connecting component cables?

The component cables connect to a different port. You have to keep the composite cables connected as they still supply the audio(you just don't use the yellow cable).

I see... I guess that digital AV port is there for a reason, then.

thanks for both of you!
