Where's the place to get the cheapest? All I'm looking for is a simple firewire card. All I need is one port, and of course a cable, for a PC. I've looked at a couple of places, and I'm just wondering what's the cheapest place (though, if online, I'm looking for a pretty quick delivery. I need it pretty soon).
here (http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=50192138&pfp=SEARCH), $28 ....pretty darn cheap.
the cable you need to buy, about $15-$20, depends on your camera. Usually just a 4-pin (camera)--->6-pin (firewaire card)

You can also try ebay... don't skimp on the cable though... get a cable that has a shielded casing... most do, but some don't... you don't want to get dropped frames or random frames with digital artifacts...
