-> The flat cables to the IDE devices block a lot of the air flow. Round
-> bundled cables about 1/2" in diameter are now available - much less air
-> flow blockage - makes the cooling fans more effective. I've got them in
-> my systems.

 I just had another thought about those round cables. You know they took
special precautions to avoud Crosstalk in IDe cables. Arranging wires to
not be adjacent, and in the 80 wire cables putting a ground wire
inbetween every active wire.
Seems to me rolling them up to make then round, While it looks "Very
Cool", would throw all that engineering to avoid cross talk out the
window.
