Phil,

Good point, but I ordered from Small Dog and the OEM cable is preformed to fit
the multiple bendsfor the cable's path from mobo to drives. If this were and old
'beater' machine (of which I have many), then i would not hesitate to just run
down to the local PC shop and get one.  But this dual 867 is my 'baby' ;-)

Thanks to all who have responded on and off list.  Great resource!
