IS7 IDE Connectors?

After reading Evan's review of the IS7, I am a little confused.

He states " The horizontally placed Primary and Secondary IDE connectors are simply unacceptable for any modern day computer case if you ever plan on using that first or second bay for your optical drive(s)".

I have only built one PC before, but this sounds like if I place my DVD-ROM Drive in Bay 1, and my CD-RW Drive in Bay 2, that trying to connect the IDE cables to the IS7 is practically impossible??
 
I think what he meant was that if you have a tall case you need longer ide cables to reach the upper drive bays. With a regular sized case it's not a problem.
