By shielding do you mean insulation? Or some other kind of shielding? Also found out that I can separate the individual cables on my IDE cable to make it more flexible.[/QUOTE] By shielding I think he means the metal foil and wire surrounding the smaller wires in the wire.

But I am sure I have found a decent layout for the components. Pics tomorrow.

For a high speed bus such as SATA, shielding is pretty much mandatory. Plus, it also saves you from static destroying your drive and SATA controller by tieing it to ground.
