Cable Management

[amol]

I'm building my new computer (TT Tsunami w/ window - black)

the shortest SATA cable i have is about 18". . . what's the SHORTEST sata cable?? my hard drive and sata connector on the motherboard are RIGHT next to each other

same thing with my floppy and cd burner (IDE)

i searched newegg, didn't find anything

10" is the shortest I own. It came with my motherboard.

Here's some 10" SATA cables, they don't come in anything besides UV reactive, though.

10" Floppy

10" IDE

He's looking for SATA.

3DCool has a cable which is confused on whether it's 100mm=4 in, 10mm = .4 in, or 40" = 1 m

I'd guess it's the first, making it 4" long, but if so, then that picture might well be wrong too. You could e-mail them, they've got a huge Reseller Rating because of their customer service.

They have a 10-inch cable as well...that's the shortest you're going to get, if the above cable isn't really 4 inches long.

ide cables with master and slave devices can be cut so they only have 2 total connections... i did this with my micro atx case just this morning works just like normal

ide cable ---> }-------{----{
^cut here
mines about 4 inches ive seen some that would be around 2 or three even...
as for sata.. you could cut and solder it... looks hard though
best of all.. both of these methods are free.. + plus it is what i call "true" modding

nice to find these cables for my Tsunami too!

SkyBum put pics of his Tsunami on here a while back, if u can find those it's almost enough to make u cry!

where can i buy these cable? not newegg, 2 cables cost me $20 with shipping and tax :roll:

 

[drpootums]

go to SVC. They have pretty cheap shipping/cables. I'm getting some ASC, 92mm fan filter (for my side Tsunami fan), 10" IDE cable, and a 10' floppy cable for $13 including shipping.

Sounds a lot better than $20/2 cables...
