I want a right angled sata cable because, my gpu blocks some ports but there is enuf room to plug in a normal sata cable and have the cable bent. Now its not the best i can move the cable to the non blocked ones, but the non blocked ones are infront of the gpu fan :(

So i need a righted angled sata cable to see if it will fit under the gpu and plug into the blocked slots! That way no bent cable!

  • I can pay postage
  • Would like free although willing to pay a little for it
  • ONLY 1 CABLE NEEDED TO TEST IDEA
  • POSSIBILITY of needing another 2 cables if idea works

50cm is a bit overkill, i usually do the pen or pencil trick and wrap it round so it turns into a coil but hmmn i have a 30cm ruler here and it looks pretty big itself

thanks anyway i guess i could check over ebay

HAHAHA they have a 1 meter sata cable not any use for a home pc is it
