I need a lot of db15 male and female connectors for joystick, controllers, and cables... Where would be the best place to go?

depends on where you live... if you have a lot of electonics supply places, those are the CHEAPEST... but if you have to use online reailers, it could be expensive.

jameco....

Alright, that's not bad. $0.49 each.

Where do you suppose I could find 15 wire cables? I was thinking about vga cables, but that won't be too cheap...

15 wire? that can be tough... I bought a bunch of PC Gamepad Cables on Ebay....

Very thin and very cheap....... Not too bulky.

You need 12' cables? Or you JUST need 2 and the rest would go to waste?

Oh, one thing about those cables. They are not the plastic ones as shown in the pic on the site, but instead are your standard metal, shorter depth DB-15 ends.

I just wet myself! Thanks.

Are these guys reputable? I'm guessing so as you've used them before.
Yes. They are also local. Shipping to me cost like $5 for a big box of 50 or so.
