Power SATA cable and SSD issue

[lving4today]

I have an apevia x-dreamer 4 case and a cx600 corsair PSU. I installed everything and it works (yay) but with the apevia case, you mount the SSD on the actual bottom of the case with screws, my HDD is right above it. I can plug my HDD and optical drive in no problem but because the SSD is at the bottom and the power sata cable has 3 connectors on one big cable, I don't have any room for the cable to plug into the SSD. My brother suggested finding washers that potentially lift the SSD up enough so that the cable goes in.

Anyone else have any better ideas? Seems silly for it to have the SSD spot but virtually no way of connecting it

get a sata power extension: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CLTGiq_Brr0CFY6RfgodTEAAZg&Item=N82E16812400046&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-SATA+%2f+eSATA+Cables-_-N82E16812400046&ef_id=QfRP1k9JNFIAAAQJ:20140325202039:s

you could find cheaper...that is just an example

I would use the washers as suggested or get a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter so that you can use one of your normal hard drive slots.

Is the cable you are trying to use bigger then a normal sata and power cable seperated?

Apevia is not a quality name brand, it does not matter if the ssd spot is functional, what matters is that they can list it as a feature to the case.

It's a thick cable with 3 SATA power connectors attached. The problem is the wires to bulky to plug it in.

Ill either have to use an extension or a bracket. I'd prefer a bracket adapter, but I'm not sure what would fit my case. Any suggestions?
