Unsure of where to post, so stuck this here.
Case: Antec P182
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
Situation: I have hard drives mounted in the removable front caddy. Before anyone asks, yes, the bottom caddy is full and so are the 5-1/4" bays above. I connect those two drives to the motherboard headers. However, since there is literally about 2" between the header itself and the hard drives, I end up with a lot of cable folded behind the caddy. Thankfully, 10" or 12" cable seem fairly common, so the upper and lower drives will have those replaced fairly soon.
Problem: I am having trouble finding short SATA cables online that don't charge an arm and a leg. By short I am referring to 6" or less. I would like to purchase more than a couple, for replacements and future use. However, I am not keen on paying $10 shipped per cable.
I have checked newegg, mwave, monoprice, svc, frozencpu, endpcnoise, amazon, all the major retailers I can think of. Few carry extremely short cable and none are selling for what I consider a practical price. Especially annoying is the fact that shipping is constant per unit.
Question: Basically, are there any minor merchants that are reliable, trustworthy, and stock extremely short SATA cable, preferably with at least one right angle head, that actually sell them for a reasonable price in large, but not bulk, quantities? I am looking for somewhere around $10-$20 for 4-6 cables.
