A firewire 400 or 800 is fine. Nothing lower than 400. Ill give you 10 bucks shipped.

I am going to order IDE cables online.
 
I may have a couple Firewire and round IDE's lying around, I'm putting my box together again in the next few days, I'll let you know if I've got some extra.
 
All those three offers are taken into consideration. Please give the guy that first offered some time and i will move down the line accordingly.
 
PCHcables.com

It's a local place to me, but i've never seen better firewire cables around... I dont know about the 400/800 though, you'll have to check? Prices were great, so i snatched some up (firewire goes for like $30 in retail stores)... dunno the prices on round cables there, but i thought i might give you the tip
 
as for round ide, could always mod your own...just cut between each or each 2 wires or so, twist and wrap with electrical tape...takes about 20 minutes to do 3 cables

People are so helpful these days :D . That IS a good idea. But did i mention i had a window and a cold cathod light on my computer case? So the cutting up would look kind of cheesey. :confused:

Anyways, a firewire card for 30 bucks is too expensive. If you looked on ebay today, even new is like 15 shipped. I once saw it for 11 shipped (4 shipping and 6.99 for card). Brand new, supports the IEEE 400. And no one made a bid. The seller had great feedback, up into the 1000s. Yet no one bought it for some reason.

I guess i crapped my own thread? Still willing to buy 2 IDE (doesnt matter with color, doesnt matter old or new, just want it working) and a round floppy cable. Willing to pay 9 dollars shipped.

Firewire..still offering 10 shipped. Brand doesnt matter. As long as it works "kinda good".
 
Might i suggest PCH cables again? The prices are slightly better (from the very VERY brief glance i took) , but there's no free shipping. I think on the larger orders, PCH cables would be the better value. They gave me great srevice when i ordered from them, the owner (pat) actually E-Mailed me back and suggested a cheaper shipping method. (I left him a comment on the order form complaining about the shipping prices ;D $10 for 3 cables is a RIP OFF), he was able to drop the prices down to about $4. Great guy, great company, great experience. I left the first reseller rating i think... maybe the second.. o_O

As far as rounding your own cables, you can make them look damn good if you have the time/expertise/magic touch!

Rip off huh..ill look into the best way to buy it and thanks for hint. First time buying round IDE cables online. Of course i checked around on the internet and at a local microcenter so 10 dollars shipped for 3 cables seem about right to me.
 
oh no no, i was talking about shipping... $10 shipping for 3 small cables is definitely ridiculous...

Wow...I did not know they had free shipping. I guess i better lower my offer price. And i still need a firewire card if anyone has it!
 
stumpy has yet to contact me. I still need firewire! I am going to order round IDE/round A drive from the website.
 
You need a card or cable? I've got a couple 10 foot 6-6 firewire 400 cable here and some 6 footers, too.
