In my fileserver, I have a BD-RW drive mostly for making backups of high-value data and an old Plextor DVD drive for its proficiency at ripping CDs. Unfortunately, Plextor's own self-designed drives stopped at IDE/PATA. If you see a Plextor SATA drive, it's one they OEM'd from someone else.

Plextor, the Mercedes of optical drives. Use to have one, great for ripping and backing up your DRM protected discs.

Yeah, the cable is up against the glass case side.
It's not ideal, but the cable is straight at the point where it goes into the connector housing.
There isn't a whole lot I can do about that without getting a different case or a third party 90' adapter.
At least it's not a 4090.

180 and 90 degree adapters are readily available on Amazon and pretty cheap. Have no issues with mine except slightly tight clearance on the the left but it is fully seated.

I still have my BD-R drive on my main rig because a lot of times I do get client requests to rip / burn CDs, it's mainly the government agencies we work with that still require a hard copy.

the gpu clearance in that Jonsbo D31 looks tight!!!

Nice look on the right angle GPU power cables!
Click to expand...
It is the psu is just sitting on the gpu no pressure on it but the HX1000w is like just over 200mm so yes a very tight squeeze !! the 7900xtx is quite big .

where as if you see the msi 6800xt card its smaller and the corsair rm 850w there is plenty of room!!

the right angle connectors i get from Amazon EZDIY-FAB 180 degree GPU plugs they just make the build look neater than having the cables just spewing out and going under the gpu !!

the power color use the normal ones and the msi 6800xt used the reverse ones or vise versa :)

I have one of these (64 GB version)! I got it in 2011, or so. SATA 3 support and had some industry-leading QD=1 read IOPS, at the time. It's in a different PC, which has a M.2 slot. With SSDs being so cheap, I grabbed a Samsung PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive to replace it. The IOPS of the new drive are like 10x, even at QD=1!

Just be careful, thats obviously not ideal. Look into getting a 180 adapter like I posted a few posts back. That is how meltgate started. Would hate to see you cook your card.

Hey man, thanks for letting me know! Your help, is much appreciated. I just ordered this particular one: Cablemod 12VHPWR Adapter 12VHPWR 180 Degree Variant ''A'' Black.

Is it gonna do the trick?

I've honestly heard mixed things on Cablemods iteration. They jerked the community around when they "announced" theirs and charge 2x the amount of ones on Amazon that don't do anything differently and are arguably actually worse than Amazon ones and some people had serious problems.

The only thing Cablemods version does better is clip into the card though if you arent moving the cables around it's no an issue.

I'd try and cancel and just order this, or there's a silver one (since you have a white case) from another vendor. They are all the same.

Just make sure you look at their A and B Style. Can't remember if they have their versions reversed or same lettering/orientation.

Unfortunately, the reason i ordered Cablemod's adapter, is because it's pretty much the only one available here, in Greece.

If i decided to buy it from abroad, the shipping alone would cost more than the adapter itself, i'm afraid.

@valthuer

AliExpress? They seem to ship to Greece. Just something to consider if yours doesn't work out. Hope it does though.

Well, with an estimated delivery of October the 26th, i wouldn't want to take my chances and wait 'til then.

Not to mention i'd have to deal with the unpredictability of customs clearance cost.

Seems like way too much trouble for one adapter.

I think i'll settle for Cablemod's, but thanks for taking the time to help me!

Your picture doesn't match your listed components.
 
A little build thread for my achievement, that I'm fairly proud of:
After 9 months finished my new custom loop setup featuring an old MO-RA3 360 core from my previous PC,
4x 200mm Noctuas and a EKWB kinetic 300 pump reservoir. All bundled into a plywood box that tries to mimic a stereo speaker.

Computer specs:
Case: be quiet! Pure base 600
PSU: Asus ROG Strix 1000w
Mobo: Asus ProArt X670E-Creator
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 6900 XT AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE
RAM: 2x 16Gb Corsair Venegeance 5600Mhz DDR5
HDD: 2 Tb Kingston fury renegade M.2 NVMe
CPU cooler: EK Quantum velocity2

I started the build by buying the computer parts. That was a bad mistake. I should have built the cooler first and then bought the computer parts... Life happens and the build was low in my priority list, but it's done now.
It turned out to be really nice and meets my expectations. Sound level is quiet, although the pump maybe slightly damaged from air bubbles while bleeding. It has a little rattling noise, but it's not audible from under the desk.
Paint still needs fixing around the edges and think I'll add handles to the cooler as it is heavy and rubber feet stick to my hardwood floor. It's hard to move it form under the desk when cleaning the house.

Looks like I can't insert images form google drive, but lets see how this goes...
