Moskie: I'd check at some mom-and-pop computer stores/repair places first. I remember a year or so ago seeing a Belkin "Gold-Plated" CD audio cable for like $25.00!!! For a few measily wires!!

As long as you keep the cable away from capacitors you shouldn't really have any noticable sound issues. I haven't yet, and I've built many a system that didn't have issues unless the cable was run right next to a line of capacitors.

Anyway, a mom and pop shop should be able to hook you up with a couple for free or for a couple of dollars. I remember we kept a pretty good collection where I used to work.
