I use A round IDE cable try that.
Try wraping cables together if headed a close place.Far as hiding cables, well it is hard to beacause some cables need to go across the case, You can try getting a longer wire and put it on the inside top edge of the case to wear you cant see it .

Still want round cables?  | |

| Here's what I did with the IDE cables in my main system.
There are 4 IDE cables and 1 floppy cable all folded together in the right side of the picture.
Since building this system, I have upgraded the video card and neatened the PSU wiring up a bit with cable ties.

Hey Martoch... Nice find... I always do my best, but that article has some nice tips...
You have any links with any info on data/signal loss due to rounded cables?
Ive heard it can be an issue, but have never seen any concrete evidence or testing done.
I always use rounded or use 4 cable ties to hold together my flat cables after "fan folding" them. | |
