is this a good price? I was gonna post it on the gotdeals forum but wasn't sure if this is a good buy or not. Any inputs? Thinking about getting one myself, but this one doesn't come with cables. How much are ATA cables?

Its a good deal for the oem version of Promise's Ultra ATA/66 PCI Controller Card cheapo. An ATA/66 cable would cost over $5.

Buycomp has the retail package for $20.53 http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10023443&loc=101

I've read of quite a few compatibilty problems with the ATA66 card. Make sure your motherboard/hard drive combo works with the card.
