I purchased:
USB2 - Firewire combo PCI card & 10ft firewire cable this morning. Price ~ $30 (US)
Compared with stores like Bestbuy $45 for the card & $45 for the cable. So I feel like I got a better deal.
Ordered before 2pm, so I should get it this week.
Along with my paperback of Art of Deception ordered last week.
*sigh*.. academics are wonderful....
