Why are the SATA cables supplied with motherboards so short and why do they put the SATA ports right at the bottom of the board?
So you buy your motherboard and then find you can't put your HDDs where you need them because the SATA leads supplied are too short and the ports are right at the bottom end of the board.
Is it a deliberate ploy so you have to buy longer leads?
It's so frustrating and fiddly trying to get the leads to 'stretch' to fit.
AAAGH!!

My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
Steam: (
I am sort of limited for space in the Shuttle even more so due to squeezing a dual slot pcie 8800GTS in there xD Heat is a bit of an issue but it stays cool enough for summer gaming. I will get pictures later on to show how tight it is in this shuttle. The fx card is that tightly squeezed into the case its actually bending the PSU wires that come out the side of the PSU (major design fault on the PSU) They fixed that with the next model the SX48P2 Pro where the PSU cables come out the bottom of the PSU.
