| I have been out of the computing loop for a while. Getting married and buying a house will do that. I have noticed that when some people list their computer specs, they list 'rounded' ATA hard drive cables. I am going to assume (yes, I know how dangerous that is!) that as opposed to standard flat cables, they are round and they will not block as much air flow as a flat cable would. If this is a good assumption, my question is do they make rounded SCSI cables also? I have been able to bend and tie up my ATA cables so they are out of the way and will allow maximum air flow through my case, but my SCSI cable is just in the way and I can't do too much with it. Thanks |

| Yes, they do make rounded SCSI cables. Most of the stores that sell the rounded ATA cables sell the rounded SCSI cables too. |

| Excellent, Thank you. I have not found any good ones yet. (I only saw ones that are 24" long with only 2 connectors - 1 for the card and 1 for 1 device.) I'll check it out and see what they have.
