In this case I would really consider at least swapping out all the
cables and not just trusting eyes to say its OK. That will run you
like 400$ if you get the cables from US Tower and less if you have
them made. To me that is cheap insurance on a very expensive tower
these days. At least here in the NE, its hard to find the HDX572 used.
I would really invest some money to maintain what you have.  -Scott,
