Those darn IDE ribbons...

[MisterChief]

Is there a way to organize IDE ribbons so that they get out of the way/look good?
Pics would be nice!

Thanx! But does anyone have, I dunno, instructions for organizing the inards of a PC?

Pick up a book on Origami. There are some clever folding tricks that can help. Just don't make the bends in the cable too sharp - that can break the little wires.

That is a very nice system you have there!

Also rounded cables are nice.

Do you have a SATA controller on your board? I got these on my optical drives. Works fine.

ribbon, do those work on hard drives too, or just opticals? Seems like only opticals would be a good idea?

I haven't used them so I have no idea if they are any good.

They work with any IDE device.

They are good, but they can be worse than ribbon cables because they aren't as flexible. People like them because they're aerodynamic but they add nothing to appearance if they are just all over the place.

That's the same reason i gave up on those rounded cables.

btw Operandi and Gaminphreek,thx for the complement.

Colored electrical tape and split wires. wrap em up and you have your own rounded cables.
