Sata power and Data connectors with multiple connectors

Hey guys, I'm trying to get my cable management in order. I have my 3 drives and DVD drive in the 5.25 bays. The SATA power cables from my PSU are just too bulky and inflexible. Where can I get a daisy-chain style of SATA power cables? And what are options I have for my SATA cables? I know they don't make daisy-chains of those, since they have to be plugged into the ports separately. Is there any better way of hiding the cables?
 
Get a CoolerMaster SilentPro PSU ;)
Wanna race?:D

Pretty easy/fast to mod/add a 4th connector to one of your power cables if you don't mind doing that.
I used pass-through and 1x end cap connector then used a 3x5.25 120mm fan adapter to cover it. Which way your drives are turned will decide if left hand or right hand, will make the cable go up< up and, towards the back with the cable, worked well for me. You'll know what you want once you scope it out. Should be able to put a new connector or 2 in the same place as the old so you're using the same insulation stripped place on the cable, and the rest of the length should work itself out. See if you can start with the top drive then space the other connectors down and snip the cable for the end cap/bottom.
Pretty sure these come in l/h or r/h depending on, which way the drives are turned/if cable up or down.

For data, if the ports are positioned next to that cable grommet you might be able to use 90º at both ends. Or 90 at the drive and straight at the port would look good too. If you find yourself wanting both ends 90 AND l/h , ^ that site was the only place I found it, when I looked.

That is exactly what I want it to look like, but I really rather have something I can just buy.

And for the data SATA cables, I already have right-angle ones so I'll replace those and have them run to the front of my case from the bottom of my drives to the backpanel area.

They build cables. They have'em for Seasonic but will put a Seasonic connector on any cable and the price doesn't change iirc. For the cable to be routed up they would have to change the drives' connectors from what standard is. They have live chat. Performance pcs and Frozencpu are a couple that will mod cables.
