    A2 Platnium I/O Front Panel, IDE?

    Is that thing connected by an IDE?

    it's not an IDE cable per-se, but it is a ribbon cable....how many pins it has i'm not sure of...guess it would be nice and easy if it was just a standard, old style 40 pin IDE cable, but i think it's specific to the IO panel.

    I believe it was a little wider then a standard 40-pin IDE cable

    You can always split the cable or do one of those special folds and tie to sorta round out the cable... Other then that, Sorry dude..

    Maybe you should make a product and sell it.. I dont think anyone has round Audigy head cables

    Yea, I totally would, but I'm anal about everythign looking just right. It wouldn't look normal if I had a grey non-ide rolled up cable in there. I guess I'll go without the A2 Platinum then...

    Time to make it, patent it, and sell it! Hehe.

    i even changed the cathode lights to blue to match my z680s control pod, and then a blue xide pad to match that. too bad they're gone now. but at least i have my ultras! (haha, at least )

    Wow, I do the same thing...everything around my PC is blue. My cell phone is even blue. One of these days I'll make the LED's in my keyboard blue. It's by far my favorite color
