Just a quick one. Looking at getting 2 sets of Cat5 Cross Over cables (no more than 5 meters) to join a couple of PCs together. Don't want to go into PC World as they charge the earth for patch cables and as i don't need it until wednesday i could buy it online.
Where is the best/cheapest place to buy a patch cable with a free/low P&P cost?

thanks

Dean

I have used Rotronic in the past but they charge £10 delivery. Still the cables are £2.62 for 5m so a lot cheaper than PC world. The website is www.shop-rotronicuk.com
