I have to agree with what everyone has said. I bought a 25' Component cable from them that I did not end up installing for like 2 months. Ended up not working at all, gave them a call and they gave me a full credit with return of the product. Bought an HDMI 28AWG cable and toslink cable and both have worked great up until recently. The HDMI cable still shows perfect picture but sound quality has suddenly become shot. Just sent in an RMA and they are replacing the cable free of charge and told me to keep the old one or toss it!!
Cannot say enough good about these guys, and since I live in Northern NV I am eligible for most of their California Overnite shipping, which is normally like $5 for overnight!!! Cant go wrong with that

I love monoprice and have scores of cables in my house from them. The one piece of advice I would give anyone buying cables from them is don't buy their premium component cables. All the ones I have bought from them in the last year or so are just way too stiff. They pop off every time a wire shifts in your setup. Also, they are stiff to the point that all three connectors have to be placed on at the exact same time which is a pain. Their lower quality component cables are actually much better.
That being said, I have been happy with nearly every other cable I bought from them except for some of their Wii cables.

I have to agree with the general consensus about Monoprice. Ever since discovering them, I have used them almost exclusively for my cabling needs. Of particular note is their wall plate selection which are a fraction of the prices found elsewhere.
The only problem I have run into is that the RCA connectors on their cables seem a little loose but not to the point of having to return them.
Since I haven't had to return anything, I can't speak to that but have been extremely pleased with the products, service, and prices.

Hello-quick question, please...I have a spare internal WD740 SATA Raptor hard drive. I want to use an external device or enclosure to install the HD in (originally it was used w/a RAID system that went bad-I have the same hdd as my boot "C" drive internally). I see on Monoprice that they have a SATA HDD Docking Station w/ Card Reader & Hub. Can I use something like this for my internal hdd or do I need some sort of enclosure for the hdd to plug into a USB port? Also, what is a card reader used for? What is your suggestions for something like this which is an internal device being hooked up in an external device?
You should be able to stick you sata drive in this dock and connect it to your PC externally. However, be aware that with this kind of dock the drive will stick out the top exposed. It is more intended for temporary use than long-term. That being said, it is probably more of an issue with noise and aesthetics than actual function.
An enclosure like this is what is intended your use as a long-term solution. Heat dissipation might be an issue with a high-performance drive like your raptor.
The card readers allow you to read memory cards from a digital camera or other portable device.
