Ain't done yet, foo'! I need a new PSU and a couple of other devices. Then I'm going to pick up some rounded IDE cables.

You're actually gonna buy rounded cables? Make them yourself dude. Just take an exacto knife and slice carefully every fourth wire if its a 40 conductor (ATA33) cable, or every 8 if its 80 conductor (ATA66/100/133). Then use zipties or electrical tape to bind the strips together so they don't snag on anything. Thats it! :) (btw, I was originally referring to ziptieing your power cables.)

Bah, rounded cables don't perform as well as normal IDE cables.

Thermaltake is evil, excepf for their Volcano 6 line. Thermalright, on the other hand, rocks :D

Are you sure about that? I did a quick search and found this:

It looks like round cables actually outperform (marginally) flat IDE cables...

I got tired of my Addtronics 7890a and wanted something quieter and sleeker looking. :D
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
