Ok, this is where the plug would be if it was moved along 30mm

Looks to me as ending on the 13th pin row in from the back of the machine, to be safe, or any further back if possible.

Image to dark to see :p

You could just center the connector between the keyboard and rear connector and tell me what looks best

. I guess 20mm or 18mm is about as good as it can be...

I need to know how far apart the left sides of the IDE connectors are.. whatever is the ideal measurement I can move it on the PCB by..
