You must have plenty of surplus cash & not mind being lied to your
face. That place is like a bottom-end used car dealership, before I
stopped going altogether, I always felt like I needed a shower after a
visit.
For buying hardware, for price, selection and consumer protection I
almost always shop online.
http://www.newegg.com
is a favorite (they're even starting to advertise on busses), and their
ground shipping is in NYC in two or three days, quite fast. I've also
just started using
http://www.axiontech.com
Some of their stuff is even cheaper than newegg, but it takes a week to
get here. Then for cables & media it is hard to beat
http://cyberguys.com
but again, you're going to have to wait about a week for ground
shipping.
If you absolutely have to have it today, try Chips & Tech around the
corner from Data Vision on 39th Between 5th & 6th. They have a lot of
suff, and connectors and adapters that DataVis won't. Their prices are
a crap shoot. Sometimes they're great and sometimes they're not.
As far as a box of cat-5 goes, have you tried Home Depot?
