Lancool K-62 question

Im just wondering, how long does my SATA cables need to be from my Optical drives. At the moment I have 30cm cables, I'm guessing they would be too small to reach the sata slots on my MOBO and go through the back of the mobo for cable management?

They should be just about fine but it depends on how they are routed behind. 45cm would be more than enough I think.

might need to order some. No idea how long I have to wait for the case though

I'll measure mine with a bendy ruler

Nice to see you may have been persuaded from that Antec case

Haha yeah, I really really wanted the 650D but I cannot afford it, plus it means I can get the G110

Plus I like how I can place my HDD's in the K-62.

Thats now around £260 you've helped me spend Stu lol.

Sorry about the wait - had to grab dinner

The straight line measurement from Optical Drive to Motherboard (optical drive in top bay) is about 20cm (couldn't get a perfect measurement because computer is still running)

So I'd imagine 30cm is fine with cable routing included....

Put it this way, I'm using the standard cables that came with the MoBo...

If you already have 30cm, wait and see, but I'm pretty sure it should work..

I hope so, my order still says 'Security Validation' although it's been sometime since I ordered, and I used a gift voucher :/

I amended the order. Getting the 650D
