What Length Chain?

I'm putting a new chain and cassette on my wife's bike. It is a 10 speed Shimano setup. The original setup had a large cog with 25 teeth and 106 links of chain. The new cassette has 27 teeth. How do I know what length of chain to use?

Bikes: 2008 Novara Randonee - love it. Previous bikes:Motobecane Mirage, 1972 Moto Grand Jubilee (my fave), Jackson Rake 16, 1983 C'dale ST500.

You don't know if the previous chain was sized right. Google bicycle chain length, sheldonbrown and parktool sites generally the best.
