    I guess this thread can get hijacked at any moment by all you other peeps who need "cables for your computer", but I need the following cables for my computer:

    SATA hard drive power and connection.

    I looked in outpost.com, cablesunlimited.com, and newegg.com, and the latter was cheapest. I can open my Dell XPS 400 and I can see that the position of the hard drives you can add on the bottom will only allow the angled connection (http://tweakers.net/ext/i.dsp/1134912394.jpg).

    SATA Cable: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812120078
    SATA power splitter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812123167
    Is this a good price and the right ones for my PC :confused: ? (yes, I got this far without smileys :p)

    Try your local Goodwill Computer Works if you have one - they have almost every kind of cable for less than 3 bucks (used).

    If you're lucky, you can build a whole computer from that place for less than 20 bucks.

    Sure thing, yes, I only need one of each. Please email me through the board or i will email you if yours is available. I shall reward your chivalry somehow, sir. :eek:

    I will also try Directron, huypham, if I do not get them from chow_yun_fat. Thank you, too.
