Antec Lanboy - the one with the side window and LAN straps

The hard drive mounted in the drive rails (two seagate 120gigs PATA) with Abit Serillel2 SATA adaptors don't allow enough clearence to put a SATA cable in and still be able to put the side panel on. I tried searching for 90-degeree cables, but I don't think any of them would fit ('m pretty sure the newegg ones don't fit). Any suggestions? Anyone else have the same problem?

thanks

I have the Antec Sonata which has the hd's mounted the same way although I am using SATA hd's and not using a conver. I couldnt use the cables that came with my motherboard so I bought a couple 'straight to right angle' sata cables from www.iocombo.com and they worked great. Since you are using a adapter on your hd's you need a bit more room, I measured my sata hds with the right angle cables and I have about 1/2 inch of space beween the closed door and the cable. If your adapter is much thicker than 1/2 inch then you may have problems.

hope this helps
