I rolled my own by slicing up the cable and rapping it with electrical tape... I did that with all my old ribbon cables

i splice the ribbon cable with my bare hands, run your thumb nail through till it splits and pull it apart, then i sleeve it with horse c0ck, it has a real name, but i forget what its called (that stuff that expands when you push on it, and contracts when you pull....like a finger trap...) then you can either zip tie the ends, or use heat shrink...

see the thing goin to my secondary IDE header? that's the data cable to my optical drives...i think you can buy it at electrical stores...i did that to my g/f's PSU cables too...as a matter of fact it's the same stuff that comes on my enermax PSU cables, just not as fancy lookin...

I cant find a pic of it.

I'll have to take a pop of it tonight.

You would think with a card that expensive they would make a rounded cable fo it. Or even the manuf.
I just dont like or want ribbon cables in my case. No ifs,ands, or butts.
