I am looking for some short HDD cables, the shortest I can find (round or flat) is 18"... my HD is right next to the IDE connector on the mobo. and the 18" cable is way too long.... Also, I only need a single device cable as my other (200 GB) drive is SATA... by the way the shortest SATA cable I can find is also 18"...... I'm just trying to avoid so much extra wiring inside my box. (looks like h_ll) ....
Does anyone know of a source for shorter cables? (prefer round).......

SVC has some 10 inch single device cables for $1.75. Tons of colors and a great store at that. GL

SVC is awesome. They sell those 18" round dual device IDE cables for around $2.15 while CompUSA sells the same thing for around $20!

I like the items on SVC but they have messed up 3 orders of mine (they did make it right) and they are slooooooooooooooooow on shipping and processing IMO. Wish Newegg had the same stuffs~!

Also if you you get some short flat cables, just fold them up and bad them ;)
