The cables really aren't that expensive, if you think about it. You can get a cheap 9-position one with detachable terminator for about $45, which can accomodate 8 drives.
In IDE, it would take four cables to reach the same result, so you end up at roughly the same cost.
Plus, many SCSI cables are rounded by default, and since you usually only need one or two, they can really clean up the inside of your case.
