Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a DVI to HMDI converter so I can hook up my desktop with a DVI video card to my LCD TV.

First, where are the cheap places I can get this misc. electronic cables? I know meritline.com has one for $7 (http://www.meritline.com/dvi-d-to-hdmi-digital-cable-adapter---p-23914.aspx). Dealextreme.com ships from Hong Kong and has taken weeks to ship in my past experience. What are the usual other places I can look?

Second, poking around meritline's site, all it tells me is that they ship their stuff either from overseas or from a US warehouse.

Any indications on whether the majority of their stuff is shipped from a US warehouse or not would be helpful in helping me decide, if anyone knows?

If anyone has ordered a lot from them, can you tell me how long it took to arrive from either US or abroad?

I will call them (if they have any decent customer service at all), just wanted to see if I could get some personal experiences to backup what they say.
