GOOD component video cable ?

I am looking for a good component video cable.
25 to 30 feet in length. ALSO it would be nice if someone knows of a place to purchase at a discount?

Recomendations please.

If so, before you spend a lot of money, try getting your hands on some regular cable TV coax cable and get RCA adapters at Radio Shack ($2). It sounds crazy, but I did this and could not tell any real difference from this and video cables to justify the additional cost.

The Adapters are just $2 and a throw away. You could solder the connections too.
