I use the WD Sata cables on the two WD hdd's in my V2000 - they reach to top of mobo no problem - just reverse the hdd so cables are out of sight and routed up back.

how have you managed to do this. i have a v1000 ,and have just spent best part of an hour with it in pieces trying to get the cages mounted the other way around. no matter how i seem to build it back the hdd's still project too far out for the cables to plug in, and for the panel to go back on.

unless i need to drill some holes, and re-mount the hdd cage closer to the rhs of the case...

You dont move the cages - just slide the hdd's in with cable attachment first as shown on my earlier pic.

I had a small hole cut out of the divider plate at the back-side to let me route up the hdd cables that way which shortens the required length to get to the mobo.

intresting...... do i get a v2000 or a 201B??

Near identical to each other really, save for the door. 201 is a few cm smaller as well. Given the door vs all the holes on the V2000, I imagine it may not run as cool, but I doubt it would make any difference on performance. Depends which look you prefer really.
