Hey guys, this is my first post here, great forum you have.
I'm thinking of getting a Lian-Li PC-V1000B to build a new Intel LGA775 system. I'd like to hookup my two IDE hard drives using serial ATA connectors and cables, so I was thinking of getting some parallel to serial ATA converters that plug into the back of the IDE drive, like these:

My question is this, because the drives are mounted sideways in the V1000, how much room is between the back of a mounted hard drive (where you plug in the power and IDE cables) and the side panel? Here's an image of the converter plugged into the back of an IDE drive, do you think there's enough room to fit it without it hitting the side panel?
