Default Dell SATA cables!!

Wanted to fit one of my old SATA drives into my new Dell PC. However, where the drive bays are located (at the bottom upside down) the SATA cables I have don't really fit as it has to double back on itself.
Popped to PC World at luchtime, they didn't have any with right angled connectors and recommended I get one direct from Dell
Just had a look at their website.... £31.73 inc. yeah that's right.. £31.73!! for one 45cm cable!!!!!

Maplins have them as well for a few pounds.

Just in case someone else has the same problem, I found these;

CableCity.co.uk

At £2.95 slightly cheaper than the Dell cables
Cable city do right handed and left handed, 90deg. SATA cables. For my case I need the right-handed version.

Dell are actually starting to really annoy me with prices like that. They would be much better off to say that they just don't stock the item.

If they are happy to rip people off like that, then I am happy to shop elsewhere

They all do it though. Dell are no better or worse than any of the top vendors...
