Default P5K-E/WiFI-AP SATA port placement resolved!

Found a SATA cable that has an inverted angle so you can somehow buy normal ones and 3 of these and manage to use all your SATA ports. I was looking for these, since eVGA has this 120 day 9800GX2 step-up program going on and a 9800GX2 would block my SATA ports.

I know if I do I wish I had some $300+ in my pockets to spend on other stuff.

You'll have a hard time making that work with me though. :P

I'm thinking, I'm thinking. $332 says eVGA website. Then I'll need those SATA cables, so I'll annoy Rich or something with that because I can't find them in Canada. Oh and a 6 pin to 8 pin thingie.
Apparently the 9800GX2 is somewhat loud when playing, that's what bothers me. My VF1000LED on my 8800GT is as silent as they can be at lowest setting and more than tolerable at highest settings. I'll need to part with it and hopefully, I can find some contraption to strap around the 9800GX2 to cool it more silently.
Also, while noisy, the cooler looks to be pretty ineffective, because it throws hot air back in the case.
Grrr, it's complicated. :P
