    MS VGA cable or 3rd party?

    Is there any reason to get the MS VGA cable, or are cheaper 3rd party cables just as good?

    And is there anywhere to get the MS cable other than ebay at the mo?

    Cheers.

    They are sold out everywhere :s Microsoft ones are more expensive and don't have an optical cable like the Joytek ones.

    I have the joytech VGA cable and it works a treat, i havent used the included optical cable so can't comment on the performance of that item.

    I got one off ebay for £19.99 including shipment from Hong Kong. It works well but if you can afford it get one from Monster Cables. There 50 notes but you pays for quality.

    Heya Sort of got a bit out of touch with the whole computer thing when I moved house about 18 months ago. Been doing a lot of work and not had as much spare time as I used to

    Hope I can get on here a bit more often tho, the people still seem very friendly and helpful, guess that's what Hexus brings out in people
