As for cables -- I agree completely with Monoprice as the source for most cables; although there are some systems that you can configure much more neatly with "left-hand" SATA cables, which they don't sell. A good source for those (in fact the only source I've found for these hard-to-find cables) is here: http://www.cpustuff.com/left-angle-to-straight-sata-cable/Outside of tinkering with hardware, I occasionally play at good day for play, hoping to win a little extra toward my next upgrade. I treat it as entertainment with a fixed budget, though, since winnings are unpredictable. Any new drives or cables still need to fit my regular budget.thanks for this just bought cables from this source Edited September 28Sep 28 by TrinityR
