So I just purchased my 2nd GTX 260 and discovered that it covers up my 4 SATA ports. I currently have 2 SATA DVD drives and one SATA hard drive. I don't plan on using more than this so 3 is all I need.

From what it looks like online, I can get a SATA controller for 2 or 4 SATA drives and buy a converter from IDE to SATA, which would give me 3 or 5 total.

Any other ideas? Recommendations?

Is there really no way to fit the cables in underneath the card? You can get 90 degree cables from newegg, which might be worth a try:
