18" HDD standard?? So what about server towers? Have you seen
the distance between, say CD-ROM or even HDD to the IDE controller connector on the board?
My cables in full-tower case are longer than 24" (although they are plain cables, not rounded ones)
and I never got my data corrupted in that machine. And those cables were not custom-made or
whatever.
