Odd < 165mm? or 90 degree sata and sata power?

[rasesh]

 

Hey guys I have a ODD that i want to place at the front of the case where it belongs.

The issue here is my odd is 165mm in length which is the normal 5.25" odd cd-rom length.

When the ODD is placed in the case the SATA connector and SATA power connector run into the first fan of the cpu cooler as it's a bit wide.

 

My only options here are to get a 5.25" odd drive that is less then 165mm so the 2 sata connectors behind it don't run into the fan of the cpu cooler or TRY to get a 90 degree adapter for the sata cable (which I have) & a 90 degree sata power connector (which I don't have).

I don't know what you call the "sata power connector" & hence can't look for a 90 degree adapter for it.

 

Can you guys link me a 5.25" odd cd-rom smaller then 165mm in length or the 2 x 90 degree connectors I need?

 

Thanks!

This could fix the issue it is basically just a 90 extension for any sata drive so you would plug the cables from the bottom.

its amazing isnt it? the people who need straight sata connectors only have 90° ones (rip my R5's ssd spots) and the people that need 90° ones only have straight ones...

Nice suggestion but apparently people (amazon reviews) are saying it's upside down the cables will go up instead of come down?
