Microcenter is the answer. But never ever give up the box. One day you may need to daisychain VGA to DVI to HDMI through a series of adapters.

Only a very lucky few live near a Microcenter.

The rest are a 8-16 hour drive away from one.

I miss Radioshack. Old radioshack, not the "Come in and buy a smart phone and toys" radioshack.

As a hobbyist in the 80s, RadioShack was a tinkerer's play space. I miss those days.

Microcenters cables and adapters are outrageously expensive, and at least the one near me has the least useful supply of shit.

They opened up a MC by me about a year ago.

I was returning an item last weekend and the employee made a comment on how many times I've been there haha.
