So after lurking here for awhile, I thought it would be fun to make my own component video cable and save some money. I bought some good RG-6 coax, and attached RCA plugs on the end. I even used colored electrical tape bands to show the red, blue, and green labels.
Then I got mad when I saw some RCA brand component cable for only $22. I thought, "well, I bet mine are just as good as that stuff." Am I wrong, is my homemade cable just as good, better, or worse than a mediocre grade component video cable? I had lots of fun making it, but now I'm almost worried that I could have spend $22, had less fun, but had alot better cable.
