CK .. here is one of the two online places from whom I've ordered round cables before ... the bookmark of the other has escaped me somehow but Crazy/PC had good prices and service ... crazypc.com Appleseed Electronics was the one I've misplaced ... the only other company with whom I've dealt on this product is a brick/mortar joint over in Dallas who sets up a tent every month at the ElectronicFleaMarket downtown ... These cables really make the guts of the box look good ... for those who "CARE" .....LOL All joshing aside, they do cut down on the air restriction which helps dissipate the HEAT, which is THE major problem in overclocking ... however, most of my boxes don't stay unaltered for enough time to ever get the sides put back on ...... hehehehe N

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
