Hey guys, I just finished up the install of my new system and I finally went to sata for the first time. I am having one problem. All my cables are really clean with the exception of my sata cable. I literally need one 3 inches long to get rid of the huge bundle of excess cable. Anyone know where to get really short, or maybe even custom length sata cables?
 
Shuttles used to bundle short sata cables a while back. Maybe u can find someone who isnt using theres :) ( 6-8 inches)
Thats how i got all mine :D
 
I found the shortest ones to be 6 inches. I got mine from FrozenCPU. I needed one to go from my DVD-RW to my mobo sata port, which is directly next to it about 4 inches away. I just had to zip tie the extra slack. The best thing to do with a SATA cable is just fold it back over itself and zip tie it. Thats a pretty clean look if you do it right.
 
Another vote for SVC - check their clearance section and there might be some there.

Or try monoprice.com
 
take your sata cable and wrap it around a pencil and it will shorten it up a little in a curl
