The stiffie SATA cables that come with even the highest end MoBo's aint so nice for neat cable routing (aka "spaghetti minimization"). This is particularly worse when the SATA ports get stuck behind the graphics card(s) and are turned sideways so that the openings face towards the front of the case.
With two stacked ports in three rows, you can't use the provided right angle cable end as that has the cable going in same direction as MoBo hold down screws and not enough room between MoBo tray and bottom port .... putting in top port would of course block bottom one. So using straight ends has cable coming towards front of case, right into the little channel between the MoBo tray and HD cages which I kinda had reserved for the bug fat sleeved 24 pin MoBo connector which fits quite nicely (as long as SATA cable snot in way).
So, anyone have suggestions for nice flexible SATA cables ? I have seen what Performance PC and FrozenCPU has to offer, the former even allows you to select which direction you want the right angles to go. Just wondering what other options available.
