SATA Cables and What to do with Extra G5 case?

[itsjared]

Hey guys, two questions, I will be getting a SR-2 mobo and am curious to know if anyone knows of SATA cables that will "piggyback" over the one beside it.
I'm just trying to avoid having all these crazy SATA cables sticking out and I know regular "right-angle" ones won't "piggyback" over each other nicely.

Look at pictures for examples, it's hard to explain.

Also, I find myself with an extra G5 case that I have stripped down and I can't seem to sell it on CL for anything less than $50. (which I don't wanna do seeing as I paid $95). I'm not planning on building anything else, besides this SR-2 build (which won't fit in the G5). SO anyone got any ideas?

You can stuff that mobo into the G5 case.
You'll have to be creative as far as everything else going in there as well lol.

Just a thought, have you thought about making a guide for the sata cables out of some sort of rectangular tubing? Bent in the right place with the sata cables fed through, surely that would work.

What about SATA cables like these where you can just route the cable to the side where you can then just bunch them all up together?

Too sad, it really looks like an interesting different approach to the G5 modding...

Those are exactly what I need. I just need to make sure they point to the appropriate side of the board.
