He's right. I just did the ethernet networking thing - 2 100BaseT PCI
Nics, 1 crossover cable and coupler (ideally, you would use a crossover
CONNECTOR, but they were out of those) and 75 feet of cat5 cost me 60
dollars, including shipping. The 75 feet of cable was the most expensive
part at $22. If you need shorter cable, it should cost a lot less.
