Title: Favorite Source for Materials
Post by: Divided_Sky on April 24, 2008, 05:04:39 PM

Just looking for everyone's favorite shop/online retailer for cable, connectors, etc.

I'm searching for any deals out there.

In no particular order, Markertek, PartsExpress, Mouser, DigiKey and Westlake-Electronic.

Of those listed, I tend to use Westlake the most; usually not the least expensive on every item but the total for an entire order is usually less than the other four. Product in stock and estimated delivery time are other factors I take into consideration when placing an order.

westlake for me.  good stock on most parts, they can get anything in a timely manner if not in stock, they have a lot of specialty parts.  shipping @ cost.  I also use digi-key for components and shrink wrap(3m EPS-300).
