I also once had a psu kill a machine, although no harm was done to the chip just the mobo.
@HLD nice idea
On the subject of rounded cables, i wouldn't say it was worth extra over the manual cable tie method, the difference in the UK is something like a pound so i figure who cares, might be different in the US of course

I just wonder if the rounded IDE cables are worth buying, since standard ribbon cables come with most IDE devices and are "free", so if I were to put rounded cables in my computer, it would cost me an additional $44 USD (two IDE, 1 FDD, 1 SCSI cable @$10.99 each) and I'd only get 2°C of cooling out of it.

I would say no then, i wouldn't pay too much attention to that statistic but for that price and the fact that your cooling is okay i don't think it is worth the money asked.
