Round Cable Question (IDE, Floppy)

[nancyboy]

I have a new computer with a side window and the inside looks a mess
with wires everywhere. I want to replace the IDE & Floppy ribbons with
round cables.

I have been looking on newegg.com and they have a vast collection to
choose from.. but I was wondering if I should go with the cheapest or
go with a name brand that is more expensive.

I have a seagate 160GB Ultra ATA\100 Hard Drive & a Lite-On Combo Drive
(DVD Player/CD Writer).

Does the hardware I have factor in which cable I should choose?
Should I be looking for IDE cables marked Ultra ATA for my Hard drive?

Currently looking at these cables. [ Floppy Cable ] [ IDE Cable ]

i have Vantec round IDE cables, they are pretty cheap 3$ or so, they work just fine, have for years

any brand is generally fine.... i bought generics every time i've bought rounded IDE cables and yet to run into a problem. they are several years old some of them.

Belkin brand here but like CraigRT and Anubis have said, a generic brand will do fine.

http://www.coolerguys.com or their garage sale, http://www.coolergarage.com found out about them because they are based in my hometown but the prices on a lot of stuff are pretty good.

I have used generic in all of my boxes for the past few years without a problem. The only suggestion I would make is to get some with pull tabs, makes it easier to unplug and less apt to mess up the wires.
