  I found'em searching for a solid HDMI cable for my TW Sci Atlanta DVR they said wouldn't work thru HDMI.   $6 cable later - worked like a charm. Much better than the $150 Monster piece o stuff!    From there I had to save a couple grand on the mobile unit's wiring and such - most of it came from them.  Fast ship, helpful staff and too much more.  All our 50' 2 and 3 elements, our 25' Composite combo's and even the 16' USB extensions - all theirs dirt cheap.  Works like a charm.    Did you know you can use the 9' wired XBox controller, TWO 16' USB extensions from these guys and not lose a millisecond of timing vs. a wireless controller on all the games?  That's right 41' of non-boosted plug-to-plug USB extension from any port on the 360 - cheap.  And fully functional even head-to-head stuff.  Eat that you tech morons who say USB's are dead past 20'!  Double that on ya in metal enclosures too!    If if you got the room in the new palace, even those would cut it since it'd all be out of sight?

sweet site, i'll have to bookmark that     PSCG Cleveland wrote:    I love when you crosspost from another convo so we're all clueless! LOL   www.firefold.com - use it, love it.   Ethernet USB up to 200ft, love it every day, works like a charm.  Far better as a repeater for controllers and such to prevent lag than a straight wireless and the worst you have is Cat5e through a wall no one's gonna see.  Simple 10ft extension patch cord would even work from the layout you mentioned?   So when are me and Alex comin over for the break-in sessions?  He's gotta clear Customs first, of course, which will be a challenge when he finds out I secretly planted master plans in his clothing so Homeland plays with him for 'awhile'!  <Grin> On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 1:35 PM, PRoPHeTiZeR <prophetizer@wrup.net> wrote:   fantastic.  i'm hoping wireless USB hits the market soon, and get a wireless USB hub, otherwise, i'll figure out something.  maybe run the wires and have them just under the couch or table i was planning on getting some theater seating, but now i'm thinking of ordering some large bean bags from sumolounge Raven Stormbringer wrote: Small hole in the wall and trained ferret? --- On Thu, 7/31/08, PRoPHeTiZeR <prophetizer@wrup.net> wrote: From: PRoPHeTiZeR <prophetizer@wrup.net> Subject: Re: [gamers_for_life] out-dated help?

I didn't give it much thought at the time, but I just got an ad for videogame stuffs and this was one of the featured items: http://www.divineo.cn/cgi-bin/div-cn/ps2-trbx Now that I look at it, I think they only have this for PS2... and whomever it was (damned if I can remember) probably wanted 360. But, if they make one, I see it as only a matter of time before the other shows up.
