Cheapest place to buy a VGA box?

Post by Quzar »

Looking to buy a couple of VGA boxes. There are a few ebay stores where I could get them for a little over 20$ a piece, but wanted to see if anyone knew of an online store that had them cheaper.

As a side note, it might be worthwhile to put together a list of places outside of ebay where such stuff could be had.

Hrm, thanks. The VGA cable type on racketboy is $21.09 (shipped to my door) and by the picture has all the pins (not sure if they go all the way through). The one I've seen on eBay is a VGA box type (so it *HAS* to have at least 15 of the pins), and is $21.69 with free shipping. I might take a stab and but the cable to see if it has the correct pins connected.

Thanks. Anyone else have a clue?

I bought it off racketboy, I must say they are the cheapest ones on the net, and the quality is flawless, I got the 20 $ one.

So I ended up buying this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0345005332 and it is something called "XK-DC-2000" According to the silkscreen on the pcb it was made in 2008 o_O!

If only we could figure out how to get these connectors made.

That's the very same one I bought off racketboy, if the image is ok of course.
Yes it was made in 2008, kinda weird I thought these things weren't manufactured anymore.
