Drakon · Jul 15, 2004, 03:42 PM

hey gang, does anyone have any good recommendations for some round ide cables for my hd's, optical drive and floppy disk? i want to get rid of my flat cables, cuz they r obstructing my airflow inside the case somewhat... thanks for any suggestions...

some of the best ive used are actually the very cool black ones abit give you free with their higher end motherboards.

They're all the same really. They all sell for about the same price so its really up to the look you want. I'm still using the ugly orange ones that came with older Chaintech board.

thanks for the suggestions, guys. i was looking at these what do u think? also do those UV cables light up with LED fans or only with cold cathodes? also do they make ur hds and other hooked up devices perform better?

Most of them are the same true, dont tend to see much difference really. as dipstick says just go with the ones that match the look of your case/hardware the best, but I would stay away from the bargain basement IDE cables, a friend of mine thought he would save money, what a disaster he had.

Thermaltake makes good stuff, they should be okay. Its the no-names that you should avoid
