I'm amazed at the range over which the prices of these cables vary. I've found
(via google.com) 3' cables with the VHDCI connector at one end and the normal HD
68-pin at the other, for prices ranging from $178 to $35. Surely there's some
difference other than quality, though it's not obvious from the posted
information.

I've bought some from a local guy. He usually has some listed on
eBay, but you could try asking him direct. The 68-pin connector on
the other end is a right-angle connector. His email address is
denton(a)orison.dsserv.com and his name is Clay. I can't remember what
I paid for them, but it was reasonable.
If you're not in the US this probably won't help.
