One (hopefully) easily quaestion : As anyone ever tried to cut of the 2nd connector and cable section off from a ATA cable ? Would it still work ?
Just trying to do little bit of cable management ....
Cut a ATA cable ?

There was a discussion some time ago about ATA cable modding in this thread.
I've cut off the end beyond the slave connector before, and I also cut off the segment from the motherboard to the slave connector for a really short cable for an antec minuet build, i.e. slave connector to the motherboard, master connector to the dvd drive.
And yes, as mentioned in the other thread, pry off the connector, use a vice or even channellock pliers if you're careful to put connector wherever you want it. I've had success with that several times as well, including 180 connector rotation.
