I'm not sure anyone even sells rounded SCSI cables - because there is likely to be interference generated by clustering the wires that close together.

Oh, and no one gives a $hit what stocks you own or plan to own, IMNSHO.

Googling for "rounded scsi cables" would be productive. But this is not a great idea - SCSI cables have less tolerance for error than IDE. That's one reason (besides the cost of SCSI in general) that you don't see many around. Stick with a quality flat cable, limited to the length and number of connectors you need, if clutter is important. If you've got $$$ to spend, Granite Digital is regarded as one of the top cable makers, and they do custom jobs. But be prepared to spend $100+ on that route. Not quite so fancy, but still quite passable, cables of shorter lengths should be easy to find.

And quoting Rage Against The Machine and your stock portfolio in the same sig is the funniest thing I've seen all week.

For the record, Adaptec is now sending rounded SCSI cables with some of their cards. They don't look to me like anything too special... a flat cable that ain't flat no more, is what it looks like.

(edit: bigger picture... you want to reduce temps? Maybe fill us in on your case & ventilation setup )

I've gotten round SCSI cables from SVC and have never had a problem with them (at least not that I know of).

I've done some investigation, and the rounded SCSI cables I've found are all shielded to prevent any problems. Good luck!

Yup, I've had rounded scsi cables (50 and 68 pin) in my server for 3 years now with no problems. I ordered them from Sidewinder Computers, FWIW.
