Why you should never buy computer cables from a dollar store

A dollar store USB cable nearly fried a friend's computer. Don't let it happen to you--"you get what you pay for" is not just a cliche; it rings true in this case.

Dollar store sells Crap your Buddy prolly Slammed his computer back in to place  breaking the usb cable there Delicate to begin with so you better be prepared to back your words Dude my bet personally is your buddie is a idiot and just slams his computer around i mean really come on why was it pushed back far enough for the Wires to be touching the back wall

We did that to him because you BOTH need something else (called a life)!!! You outsmarted yourself by trying to build a computer yourself, GEEK! From: a PROUD Dollar Store employee. Next time, STAY OUT OF OUR STORE!!! Better yet, try one of our car-plug-in cellphone chargers!!!

Good Video. I bought a power extension cable once from the power store to extend my alarm clock. It shorted my alarm clock and the extension cale extremely hot.

which brand are you speaking of in this video? the dollar stores I have been too carry USB cables from GE, Uninex, and another off-brand that starts with L.. but I can not think of the name at the moment... anyway, In my opinion, one should look out for the usb cables at radio shack. those are the dangerous ones... at least to my systems,

I get what you're saying but I've had the same thing happen with a name brand cable too. It could have been a fluke. I've had dollar store cables too and they work fine.
