Short SATA cables ?

So I have successfully built and got my first PC up and running. Hurrah! No major headaches which was nice.

Anyhow, I'm trying to improve the internal aesthetics......my HDD SATA connector is about 10cm away from the SATA connector on the motherboard. No problem. But the shortest SATA cable I can find anywhere is a monstrous 45cm! Now I appreciate that some people may need a long SATA cable but I need a short one: 20cm would be good 15cm even better.

Are there any short SATA cable out there? a lot of my PC internal space is full of coiled up, cable tied cables getting in the way.

Any solutions ?

TIA

Mr Sparkle

Re: Short SATA cables ?

I dont think you will find a cable that short, the shortest i seen at work is 30cm and that is pretty short, cases are big these days with alot of hard drive bays and the top drives have some distance to go to get to the ports usually found at the bottom of the motherboard.
