Kinda off topic, but does anyone know where I can get a handful of resistors and not have to pay $10 shipping? I'm an idiot and was fixing a big screen tv, forgot to order some resistors I need. I basically need about 10 3.9ohm 1/2watt resistors. Parts Express seems to have a "smart post" option at $3.95 which isn't too bad. I can order again from MCM but they want $8.99 minimum for shipping, unless I find some other crap to add to the list. I already paid $9.99 shipping on 2 STK chips, basically about half the size of my iphone. Thats nuts!

Incidentally, I was thinking about maybe ordering up some parts to have around for arcade repairs, like voltage regs, regularly used chips, etc. If anyone has recommendations let me know. I'm thinking about the 2 chips for K7000s too.
 
I really like Digikey for stuff like this... they have no minimum order, and will ship first class mail for $2.41 (to my location at least).

And yeah... I wasn't too impressed with MCM on my last order... between the expensive shipping, website problems and broken stuff, then seemingly uncaring customer service.
