Cable Lengths for Lian-Li V1100?

[scrapser]

I'm thinking of getting this case but read a review where it was found that standard IDE ribbon cables weren't long enough to reach from the MB to the hard drives. Does anyone have this case that could tell me what cable length would be adequate?

Thanks

you can get rounded cables in many lengths i believe as long as 36inches check out newwegg.com. should not cost you more than $5-6.

36" should be enough, but you could send an email to Lian Li to see what do they recommend.

I was able to use standard issue IDE cables in my PC-V1200b. If they work in my case they will definatly work in the PC-V1100b.
I got rounded cables later bec they look better.

That's great to hear. But how long are the round cables you bought? I believe they come 18", 24", and 36" long. I would think 24" would be sufficient. Also, how about a round cable for the floppy...how long would that need to be?

24" would probably be fine in that case. I dont know about the floppy (havent had a floppy in years) but I'm sure an 18" would be fine.
