Angry click click click :o(

Hey Interweb mechanics,

I need some help. My car wont start and I've already replaced my starter and battery. Both were bad.
After replacing them, I still get the infamous clicking noise.

I guess my next step is to replace the cable. What else should I look at?

I've included some video

Anybody out there?

I did a voltage test on the positive cable and it read 12.72v which is the same as when I measure the voltage on the battery.
