Longer than 36" ?
There ain't such cables. Max. cable length is 46cm (17" or 18" I think). If you need long cables, you have to wait for serial ATA dude. But don't worry, it's coming within the next few months. RJ

I've seen cables up to 36", but you lose too much signal at that length and I highly doubt you will find anything longer. I made a 42" cable for my bench machine once and it was nothing but trouble.

18" is the maximum recommended for Ultra66/100/133 cables, but I do have a rounded Ultra cable from startech that is 24" and it works fine.

As I said: Serial ATA would be the way to go for you. With Serial ATA longer cables are possible.
