I imagine the cables that you need will come with the hardware that you purchase.

You will need a SATA cable for the Raptor and cables for the drives, whatever they use.

Don't go too long on the IDE cables otherwise you'll run into I/O errors. Don't rule out the cables that come with your hardware either.
