I am going to purchase some round IDE cables for my Athlon 64 system that I'll be putting together. I don't think I've ever actually purchased IDE cables, and definitely not the round ones, so I was wondering if someone could tell me what would be a safe length for a mid-tower case (3-head cable)? I'm thinking 18", but maybe 24" to be safe. I think 36" is probably too long. I will probably use the 2 top-most drive-bays and the top slot in the HD rack.
Also, does the manufacturer of these round cables make a difference, or is a cable a cable? Thanks for any help you can provide.
