I'm moving my main system into a new tower case (big-mutha Chieftec DA-01WD), but standard 450mm IDE cables wont reach from the mobo to the higher drive bays.
I've seen conflicting advice about the integrity of IDE cables longer than the standard 450mm and also about 'rounded' cables instead of 'flat'. I've ordered a pair of rounded 900mm cables which will be used for CD, CD-RW drives as well as UDMA33 HDs in removable bays.
Has anybody used this length of cable before and/or had any problems with them?
