Theres no such thing as a rounded SATA cable, all of them looks the same (excluding different colors and possibly lights) And no, SATA cables will not work with IDE. If your motherboard doesnt come with SATA cables, yes you will have to buy two of those cables. And finally, there are tons of guides for building a computer, lots of magazines. I personally used www.pcmech.com/byopc but I'm sure that there are many better ones, just search on google

oops i didnt mean rounded sata cables... just sata cables.. i heard somewhere that that can be used for an ide drive tho o.0

[_slh_]

they can, the nf7s comes with a converter to use them with IDE drives, but you only get one of them, and one cable

that name may be abit specific though.
