Rounded Cables other Case Mods

[Walrusim]

Hi I was wondering if you guys knew of a great place to get rounded IDE cables. The cheapest place i'd ever seen them were at Best Byte for $6 a peice for an 18" ATA-100 cable.

More importantly i was wondering if anyone knew of a place in the San Jose area that sold rounded IDE cables and other case modding supplies such as blue and white LEDs?

Just make your own. It's not that hard to do, just be careful.

Definately be careful. I had some in my system and came to find that they were causing transfers to be corrupted.

I don't really want to make my own, especially if i could get them machine made and only for $6. but what i really want to know if there is a place in San Jose that sells stuff like this. It would be really sad if there wasn't on in San Jose or even the Bay Area.

The best rounded cables on the planet can be had right here my friend! Japanese silver rounded cables are the best...



<< ...especially if i could get them machine made and only for $6 >>



I don't think so...

Rounded cables are the stupidest thing anyone could do the the innards of their computer.

It's a FAD.

You take the risk of data corruption by using them.

YEa yea, flame away.. I know many of you here will say I'm full of it, and I don't know what the heck I'm talking about... so be it.

fkloster please go to this link for the $6 cable

Whitedog please explain how these rounded cables cause data corruption? I can see how hand made rounded cables could cause this but how do machine made ones cause corruption?

.. and still no one has responded to my San Jose question

white dog, if you shell out the extra dough for machine made ones, NOT hand made ones, whats the big deal?

 

[Hammbone]

whats the difference besides price in the best byte cables and plycoms??? for $6 it might be worth it to me for $22 it isnt.

 

[mackstann]

why not just use flat ones and fold them in half twice????? its free and works great

WWW.PLYCON.COM


They are the best. I took Tony's (the owner) first rounded scsi cable prototypes hehe

Personally those $6 dollar models look like crapola...I know I would rather spend a little extra and get something nicer than that if I were going to bother, but then again that is just me.


www.2cooltek.com has some nice ones or at least he did.
