Round cables?

[herbage11]

Hey people it's me, the newbie, with another question. I am going to get a new system soon. Antec SX1040B with all the regular items (HD,CD,CDR, etc). OK what I need to know is are round cables worth the $? I know they look nice, save space, and help cooling but are they worth it? Also what would someone with the Antec SX1040B case need for cables? And where would I go to get good ones at a good price? I looked over neweggs already and that is it so far. How many, what length, etc. This will be my first built system and any suggestions are appriciated. Thanks all .

I have the SX1040 and use Silver rounded cables. I have the single device and dual device 18", plus the single short floppy cable. Not only are they attractive, but they improve the airflow.

Do a search for round cable and you'll find loads of previous threads about 'em.

In case you don't want to waste your time, they are worth the money.

How much do they improve air flow? Has there been temperature drops in your systems? I usually tuck the crap out of my IDE cables into empty bays. There's no way that they prohibit air flow to my video card or CPU.

I should have been more specific. They may not improve air flow all that much, but when you mess around inside your case a lot, they are great to have. Plus, they just look cool. When you have plexi window its worth it.
