<p>I have an older motherboard that I can't afford to replace just yet; it's the <a href="http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages/200605/biostarTF6100AM2_full.jpg" rel="nofollow">Biostar TForce 6100 AM2</a>. I recently purchased an expensive video card which is dual-width and quite large. This video card extends over the sata ports and does not have any room for straight sata cables to connect.</p>
<p>I managed to connect one hard drive with a sata cable with a right-angle connector, but since both ports are oriented the same direction, I can only hook up one drive this way. Is there some place to buy a "left" right-angle connector cable so I can hook up the other drive? Or do you have any other suggestions for me?</p>
<p>Ultimately I do plan to buy another motherboard in the Spring; I'm just hoping for an inexpensive solution to tide me over until then.</p>
