I have a large Lian-Li PC-71 case and it's quite a distance from the hard drive coolers up in the 5.25 bays to the RocketRAID card in the PCI slot under my vid card. 24" IDE cables just barely make it from the uppermost hard drives, but without slaving. Can I use a 36" cable ??? I heard that 24" is about as long as you would want to go... Is that correct ??
