I'm building a new box and for the first time I'll be using SATA drives. It will have 2 drives, a 150gb raptor (SATA150) & a 500gb barracuda (SATA 3.0 gb/s). Both drives are OEM and do not come with cables. Is there a preferred cable brand/type for SATA drives? Does cable insulation...

I've been tasked with building a new machine for my better-half. For a little background the system I will be replacing has been in service (with only 3 upgrades) since 1997. It's a P2/400. So what I'm looking to build is a machine with stability and longevity. Here is what I have already...

Does it swivel to do portrait mode?
