    I'm looking for a place (aside from RadioCrap) that sells electronics/electronics parts. Like ohm resistors, soldering irons, refillable butane cans, home electronics (lan cables, computer cables), etc.

    Ace Electronics is near me on Antoine and 34th but I hear they are pricey (going to check them out today). Any recommendations on electronics stores?

    Try Frye's, they sell a ton of stuff and for pretty cheap too. I find myself stopping by just to look around and see the stuff they have on sale.

    Sweet man. Thanks I'll try out EPO. I was just around that area the other day when I was hoping I wouldn't get shot on Harwin :)

    Was that worth the FBI surveillance coming your way? Hopefully you sent that from work.

    LOL no. FBI has bots and algorithms in the phone system and internets. You set off like a code red. I am jeopardizing my safety just being in this thread. I am sure Toycen can give you the details.

    EPO is great. If you ever need parts or wire/cords, or odd ball things.
