Hi CK, you can also make your own as I did. First go to Radio Shack and buy 10' Spiral Cable Wrap, Part #278-1638. About 3-4 bucks? Take an IDE cable, with your thumb nail, separate it into about 8 strips, each 5 wires wide, now stack them on top of each other, wrap with the Spiral Cable Wrap. VIOLA! a round cable just a TAD over 1/4 inch dia.

Start with a spare IDE, you can use a knife to start the separation, be careful, no cut wires, and pull them apart once separation is made. Replace one at a time and Boot up to see if OK. I've made about 10 or 12 and never had a problem with any. Looks very NEAT-O. Helps with air flow.

Regards, /jw
