Hi guys, I'm building an ITX system and have a need for some right angle sata cables. But I cannot seem to find any right angle sata connectors that will overlap one another on the motherboard. Is there any type of sata riser connector or any thing that could help me? :shrug:
I need 2 18" cables.

Heres a picture to show my height limitations.

If you guys could help me out I would be more than happy. :shrug:

:welcome: to the forums!
I would think you'd be able to get away with one right angle and a normal cable just pushed down over it, they are pretty flexible. I can't say I've even seen a SATA riser cable of any kind though....

Know Nuttin: This (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10226&cs_id=1022601&p_id=1250&seq=1&format=2) is what I need but they don't seem to have any long enough! :(
Edit:
I think this will work.

they have some that are 18" with locking tabs, they are farther down the page. Do you need both ends to be 90 degree connectors?
I thought Satas are foldable.

I thought Satas are foldable.
it is the connector that isn't very flexible. i've seen another thread quite some time ago with something who had the same issue. i'll see if i can dig it up...
*edit: found it:

you might want to find angled cables that go in opposite directions. that would probably be your best bet.

I wish I could, if you notice in the picture there's a wall of capacitors directly beside it. :(
I'm going to order those cables from newegg and just hope they work.. I'll get some other things while I'm at it, they want 10$ to ship 2 cables.
