I don't work for these people in anyway.

Hey there everyone I just spenat a couple hours looking at various options to fix a problem I was having due to lack of space in the compartment that my custom case was built into. The ports on the back of the motherboard (ps/2, vid card, etc) were not accessible due to limited clearence (around a half inch) behind them.

For the sound card (Audigy 2 platinum) I purchased right angled 6' 1/8" (3.5mm) to red/black RCA. They have a right angled plug...all one cable (Radio shack)

For PS2/USB I used one of the onboard USB ports, connected to a single usb por tthat is in a pci card type mounting bracket (it is not a pci usb thing)...Either way through this I have PS/2 to USB adapter (for my keyboard...ps2 keyboards just work better, i have a usb one too but i like the ps2 one)..Either way I got a hub coming off there

Now for video I looked at a fwe options such as using a riser type extender thing that plugs into the agp port and then give you 6" of ribbon cable to relocate the port. These ran around $45.

So then I decided to just look and see what it would cost to get a right angled adapter for where the 15pin display cable connects to the video card...looked around for a while (took a break) and then stumbled across a $8.99 right angled video adapter aval here...http://www.markertek.com/SearchProdu...ff=0&sort=prod

just posting this so that if anyone else is looking, hopefully tihs long post full of keywords will someone them find this adapter, and save them hours of time searching...(I just spenat at least 2 researchin this stuff)
