$6.70 - yep that is cheap. The Sata adapters from new egg come with cables, power and Sata, and also a PCI bracket and in the case of the Addonics I think it also comes with a drive bay bracket (better check to make sure I am right). But if you don't need that stuff..
Those DealExtreme prices are a little on the scary cheap side for me.. but I see that they have a feedback section now also.. nice.. If they are selling them for $6.70 each what do you think they are buying them for .. $3.00 each !?! Crazy..
