LMFAO!!

Curious, does it really make that big of a difference? Or is it just our compulsive nature as computer nerds to modify just about everything that we can?

 

[KouklatheCat]

Neoplasia I was wondering the same thing about the cables and wanted to get some oppinions before I shell out the bucks. Can anyone give any info?

 

[Renob]

I was getting them cause they look cool and I like things that look cool

 

[Usul]

They improve the cooling only if they are actually blocking the airflow.
Ant they look cool anyway.

 

[KouklatheCat]

I think that will probably turn out to be the reason I am getting them, they look cool. The ones from cooler guys look cooler then the ones from Plycon.

 

[Losty]

if you want a difference in temp...it doesn't do much
to my experience i modded my 40pin to rounded cables
it looks okaie...not as nice as the ones you buy but it was fun slicing it up!
there was no difference in temp and i suppose no diff in air flow

so it's for the looks! and it's easier to work with if you change things inside a lot.

 

[KouklatheCat]

Plycon is out till thursday but they are about $4.00 cheaper then Cooler Guys. I think im gonna order a set of them even though no one will see them I will know they are there and cool. . Yeah im wierd.....and I may eventually put a "window" in my case (yes im a geek).

Will the ATA100/66 cables work on a CD-ROM??????

 

[Renob]

Yes they will work with a cd-rom

Buy some electric tape for $.40 @ doiturself.com . Fold the cable and wrap it w/ electric tape.

 

[Renob]

Doing it your self looks like you did it your self. I want it to look cool. Its only $65 for the 3 I need.........

 

[rahvin]

Bwaahhhh, $65? Your kidding right? Cables are $4, rounding them takes 5 min. Your telling me you are willing to spend $60 extra bucks to put a nicer color electrical tape on them? Wow, I got a bridge for sale, interested?

 

[Renob]

You act like you have to sell the farm to get these its only $65 and there not done with colored tape. I would buy them if they were $165 I dont work my but off, to not buy the things I want...

 

[zuffy]

I got my from doneitmyself.com

ugly as hell but very cheap and no one can see the inside of the case anyway.

 

[Viperoni]

Listen, some people want their cable's to look nice, big deal?
I'd be interested in them if the colour didn't suck

 

[KouklatheCat]

I dont care if no one sees the inside of my case, I know they are there. None of you will probably see my house does this mean I should let it be messy? If someone wants to "waste" their own money why should anyone else care?

 

[Stallion]

Did mine myself and got some red wire loom and red zip ties from the auto store for next to nothing. Looks good to me.

 

[Neoplasia]

Whoa, I didn't realize they were so expensive. Personally I think that's a little on the rediculous side. No need to get in a tizzy guys, they're just cables, use 'em if you want. But honestly, you don't think $65 for cables isn't a bit much?

 

[Stylewar]

Very true Viper. I bought mine form Pccables.com and they arent just standard IDE cables with electrical tape. These are actually mnanufactured differently, with each data wire wrapped seperately with a ground wire to prevent crosstalk. I DO have a window in the side of my case and they look sweet in there. The increase of open space probably helps cooling, though the average human probably couldnt tell. What I do notice is however, the ease of moving things around and getting my fingers where I need to. Rahv, they are worth what they cost. Rounding your cables, while increasing your airflow, do not provide the benefits true rounded cables provide.
My 2 cents.

 

[KouklatheCat]

$65 bucks is about an hour of overtime so to me it isnt a lot at all.
