Has anyone used these new round IDE drive and floppy cables for any
length of time? They appear a terrific idea, but one never knows until
one works with them for a while. Does anyone has issues with them:
become brittle under constant heat, don't conduct reliably/as fast a
ribbons, are poorly inserted into the connector, etc? Or, conversely,
does anyone report good experiences and recommend them heartily?

I recently converted from a flat 68-pin SCSI LVD cable, to its rounded
equivalent, with no measurable differences.

Prior to swapping out the cable, I ran a series of benchmarks with HD
Tach, that I repeated after the swap. The results were identical.

I would also note, that my CPU and internal case temperatures are no
different either.

have you noticed an increase in noise through your speakers? Noise from the
mouse leaking into the sound? This was the biggest problem for me.
