| Western Digital Secure Connect Serial ATA Cable im currently running 2x WD SATA drives using the Western Digital Secure Connect Serial ATA Cable. However, im just changing over my case to a chieftec full tower http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=308016 The only problem is, the case is sooo big and too long for my cables. Above the board is my Hiper PSU, and then above that is the HD rack. I can just about connect my first SATA drive to my mobo using the secure connect cable, but i cant get the other cable to reach Does anyone have any ideas where i can get a longer SATA cable as the ones i can find are only 0.5m (i really do want to usew the secure connect cable not just regular SATA) Cheers
