hard drive eide cable wires
hi, i have a dim 8100 and looking forward to buying oem drives from the internet such as this drive
Maxtor 120GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive, Model 6Y120P0
and i was wondering, since the eide cable does not come with the drive, is there certain type of cables that i should buy, or just any regular eide cables will work fine with it?

Any Parallel-ATA 80 Wire UltraATA x18"L, is fine.

If it's 80 wire, then it will be fine, but when I upgrade a hard drive I usually install a new cable.
