I want to get some round IDE and Floppy cables for my case. I have been waiting for months for buy.com to get in the Startek cables.
They seem to look like nice cables and are very reasonable in price, but I am getting my Athlon next week and really want to improve
airflow in my case.

Where did you get your round cables and about how much were they? I really don't want to pay $20 a cable or make them myself.

I will need one 24" cable and one 36" cable for IDE and a standard length floppy should be fine.

Thanks,
Mark

But you shouldn't use a 36" ide cable.. 18" is the max for current standards. Most people have perfect results with 24", but I don't think I'd try 36"... that's like hooking up two standard cables.

After reading your post I double checked my current cable lengths and you are right. I need a 18" cable and a 24" cable not a 36" cable.

My tower is rather large and I can't reach the cd drives without a 24" cable.

Thanks,
Mark

What is cool is, both these places take PayPal. Used both and they are both fine.
