    i need a custom rounded IDE cable, which needs to be 30inches long, with the dimensions

    Blue <15inches> Grey. Grey <15inches> Black

    I have seen a US company I found in google that can do it, but it isnt rounded, and the shipping is $30 for a $30 cable :worried:

    Before I order this insanly expensive cable is there a UK place that would do it?

    PS the IDE cable is for cd-rom drives not hdd's

    Its not as hard as you imagine, just buy the ribbon cable, connectors and the clamp to put on the connector, and be very careful with the xacto

    Colored electrical tape also works very well. I use it on all my wires.
