Hello,

I need some help.

I have this case

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/nzxt-source-340-midi-tower-case-black-window-ca-152-nx.html

I have this MOBO:

I've just bought a new SATA HD from Overclockers but there's no wires to connect it ? I have a power wire but no cable to the MOBO?

There's only one SATA wire and that is connected to my main SDD storage device.

Should the MOBO, case or whatever or HDD have come with another SATA cable?

I've got a spare sata cable from my old pc but that's 10 years old and dusty and I don't really want to use it ? :)

HELP

SATA cables are bundled with the motherboard. I usually replace them with shorter cables.

You should be able to pick them up from local shops or supermarkets if you don't want to wait for one to be delivered.
 
If it was a pre-built computer unused screws, panels and cables etc would have probably been removed to make it look neat and tidy. Like you say would have been nice to leave a SATA cable inside the case for future upgrades.
 
Over the years, mine has grown to the size of multiple boxes in multiple rooms in multiple houses :o

I have a loft full of spare parts.

Had a massive throw out last month and trimed it down to just one box.

Then this month I had to buy something I had thrown out as at the time I didnt know what it was so binned it :D
