I have to agree that both of these are reasonably priced are are of fair
quality. Both are good for prototype designs when you don't want to spend
the extra cash on higher grade boards and cases.
3. The muultipurpose wall warts are good to have.
4. The DB-25 and DB-9 metal hoods, while ridiculously priced, are very
nice.
5. The better quality switches, while very expensive, are actually
almost worth it.
I guess I'm spoiled due to living in Houston, since there are at least
half a dozen local parts shops and dealers in town that stock these kinds
of things. Several of the shops stock mostly common parts, while the
others maintain a large stock both common parts and the more unusual
surplus stuff.
Of course, Mouser electronics is only a phone call and 1-2 days delivery
time away (UPS ground to Houston).
