rounded cable length suggestions?

[lilmojo]

I'm going to buy some rounded cables and i have no idea what length i should get.

2 optical drives
3 head-10", 12", 18" or 24"?

1 hard drive
2 head-10", 12", 18", or 24"?

1 floppy
2 head-10", 18", or 24"?

This is the case i'm going to be using them in

This may seem like a silly question but it's my first build and i would hate to have the wrong size when it comes to putting everything together.

thanks

Looks like you're using a mid-tower case, so I would suggest 18-in. or lower. I have a full-tower and 18-in. barely lets me connect my extra controller (on-board RAID in ultra-mode; bottom of MB) to 2 CD devices near the top of my case. I figure this would be no problem in a mid-tower. Of course, then comes the problem of hiding the cables behind the MB tray for better cooling. Anyone have ideas if he needs longer cables to do this and what I would need for a full-tower case?

i would say 18" for your optical drives, 10" for your hard drive, and 10" for your floppy.
