Does anyone know of a 90º sata power adapter that sits completely flush?

I don't know if they've ever been made. Can't find one, but I need one. Sometimes a few mm makes all the difference =/

If you have molex you can try this http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-PYO2LP4LSATR-12-Inch-Latching-Splitter/dp/B00A6GKENQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451515670&sr=8-1&keywords=angled+sata+power+cable.

Not exactly sure what you mean by flush but if you are trying to squeeze a sata connector in a tight spot silverstone makes cables just for this:

Oh sata power read that wrong, umm basically the 90 degree connectors out there are the standard type of sata power connector.

Molex->sata power would be ideal actually. I bought one of these thinking it would work, but it doesn't actually go all the way in, sticks quite a ways out. That one looks like it's about the same size.

Just get some sand paper or a file and slowly grind back as much as possible

That would probably be one of the more low profile ones since it's integrated into the connection, what is limiting you that makes it require such a small connector.

your fine as long as you don see copper, this would be the easiest way to get specific clearance.

Not a bad idea! I was actually thinking of taking a dremel to it, might be able to get just enough off, but I dunno if I wanna risk shorting out my system lol

While I don't usually recommend it you can take off that cover on the connector and trim it down but you would want to insulate the back with something like silicone or epoxy over it. Also can you not shift the device down to house the connector?

Yah I'm thinking that's my only option at this point. I can probably trim it down to just above the wires & be fine, I have hot-glue to seal it with. Unfortunately I can't move the device (vertically mounted dvd drive) any further down, it's fixed in place.

K, that worked a charm   tube clears perfectly now, thanks guys

Just as a possible alternative there are also dual rotary fittings that let you offset the connection slightly which may help:
