Check the for sale forum page. Lots of good PC stuff there from alot of people. (I posted some IDE and floppy cables FS sale there a few days ago)

I've never exactly "needed" new cables. By the time I might, it's because I'm replacing that computer and have bought new hard drives (retail) and/or a motherboard.

IDE cables aren't just going to "get old" and reduce performance. If you're using an ATA33 or less drive, you're not going to get any better speed with 80 wire cables.
