Round Cables - which?

[jspeicher]

Do you guys have favorite brand of round cables? i've never used them before, but i wanna keep my insides clean on the system i'm buidling.

Can someone list out which cables you replace with round cables? Like a shopping list.

Antec Cobra's for both the IDE devices and floppy. The Cobra's are a few bucks more, but I saw a couple tests where they performed better than your normal run-of-the-mill rounded cables. Newegg has pretty good prices for the Cobras.

Krazi, do you hook up your ground wire or not? Not quite sure where to hook those up to.

Bump. I have 9 drives in my machine right now. Any place I can buy some cheap? I cant even see my motherboard there are so many wires.

I just bought some generic ones for dead cheap from svc.com and they are great less than 3 bucks a piece!

How do you control 9 - drives w/ two IDE controllers? (newbie question)

You gotta check out these cables!

Or these might work for you!

If neither of them work out, these will probably run just as fast

PCI add-on card or multi-channel RAID board.
