I bought some Akasa UV reactive S-ATA cables for my HDD's the other day, only a couple quid each, have to say i am well impressed.

Only thing is, the ends are right angled, the wrong way - so the wire points 90 degrees UP...not down! Still work though!

looks sweet

just got some of the regular IDE cables for my new build, cant fault the quality and the rounded cable sure will help instead of a two inch wide ribbon cable 'wind break'

I hate ribbons, they are so damn difficult to work with.

If im building even the CHEAPEST of systems for a customer, i still use rounded cables. And never an IDE hard drive either.
