P180 Cable Length Suggestion?

I am going to be ordering the Antec P180 from Monarch Computer unless someone can tell me where I can get it for less. I will be installing a Asus A8V Deluxe MOBO, Antec True430 PSU, ATI AIW 9800 Video Card, (3) hardrives, (1) Floppy and (2) DVD/CD Drives. I've read a lot about cabling problems and thought I would also order some round 24" IDE cables along with a 18" Floppy cable. Are these lenghts suffiecient? Any other extensions or cables I should consider?
Thanks
 
Your psu will work nicely. 18" on the IDE's will suffice. I have the A8V deluxe in the p180 and use a 10" round IDE for my dvd drive and a 10" round floppy cable. My HD is sata and is bottem mounted. Too long of device cables clutters up the case and can reduce airflow. If you are planning on mounting the HD's in the bottem chamber (as Antec suggests for silence and cooling) and all three of your HD's are IDE then 18" will be a must maybe 24". If your HD's are sata then the supplied mobo sata cables will be fine whether you install the HD's in upper or lower chamber.
