Female to Male Extender, Right angle SATA cable...

Tight fit, NO drilling.

Works great!

Hope this gives you all more ideas!

Ive already done this with mine but with a switch and a sata socket on the back to switch between the xbox360 sata port and the port on the back. My idea is to have 2 switches one for the dual firware (1 with the xtr0800.bin and the other for the xtreme.bin) So when im finished I will be able to put both switches one way and plug sata into my computer to backup games and both the othere way to play the backups.

I was thinking of writing a Tut.

I will get some pictures as soon as I have the dual boot firmware installed as well..

For those in the states Newegg sells the same thing:

SATA Extension Adapter

Just remove the metal bracket and you have the same thing...

I built my own sata extender by cutting a broken PCI network card pins (whose pin width is exactly the same as sata) and pushing it into the male connector.

But then I realised I cant get the plugs out of the 360 case without bending the USB/LAN port so I dropped this idea. Would be great but I cant see how I could get the cables through without violently bending the case.
