I found the round cables for the IDE drives at Newegg, but I was wondering what site I could order a round 50 pin SCSI cable?

I would like to have the cable in Red, if possible.

I would highly recommend AGAINST using rounded SCSI cables. With the higher data transfer speeds comes a higher potential for crosstalk and data corruption. I use either PVC or Teflon cables for my SCSI U160 stuff. Granted, 50 pin SCSI is not as fast, but I still think the danger of crosstalk between the wires is something to think about.

I agree with Flowerman. :) Only flat SCSI cables in my boxes.

While there are some that claim rounded SCSI cables are fine, talk to a quality storage system dealer like Hyper Micro. Even though they sell rounded cables, they will do their best to talk you out of using them. Why? Ask them. You will hear some interesting stories on chasing storage system gremlins. ;)

Yeah, I got quite a bit of stuff from Hyper Micro, but their tech support could be worked one a little more... Had a problem with getting some LSI Logic controllers and Seagate X15-36LP drives to work with some new systems I built... took 2 months before I figured, DUH, update the BIOS :D
