So, how much do these babies cost? HighSpeed PC quotes US$17.99 for the rounded IDE cable and US$15.99 for the rounded floppy cable. Of course, when compared to the price of normal IDE/floppy cables (~US$4), those prices are astronomical. However, home-made rounded cables aren't as presentable, aren't colored, and are questionable quality-wise (remember crosstalk?). The perfect price level for the rounded cables would be about US$12. A disadvantage of the price comes to mind though. You'll now have to keep close watch on your cables as many people will jolly well be eyeing them.
In conclusion, these cables were an absolute pleasure to work with. They bend and twist more freely, and are easier to keep out of the way with wire ties. Reliability and performance are not compromised. Most importantly, they provide some much needed relief in cramped case conditions, improving internal case airflow. Their only disadvantage would be their hefty price tags. But as they say, you get what you pay for. So, if you're looking for professional rounded cable solutions, you really can't overlook these cables. So head on over to HighSpeed PC's online store pronto! As for me, I can hardly wait to show off these cables in public. Highly recommended!
