    I just found a dozen that I had stuck into a box and forgotten about. I probably have another 8+ in various other boxes, but the whole lot is getting binned in short order here.

    I've got about 15, that I know of, probably more if I start hunting around, I don't actually remember the last time I used one, but every time I buy a mobo, there's another cable.

    They're small you know? Very easy to fit in the bin.

    I think only 3 in total one of which is in use. Now compare that to the number of DVI/HDMI/VGA/DisplayPort cables i have about a dozen of those.
