Do the new Dell Inspiron 530 / 531 PCs still require low profile, right angle SATA cables?

[Kwad Guy]

One of the annoying things about the Dell Dimension E520 and E521 is that, because the slots for the hard drives are so close to the side of the case, you need to use special low profile, right angle SATA cables to connect to the drives. (E.g. not the cable that comes with a retail drive kit).

I'm wondering if this is still the case with the new Inspiron 530 / 531 PCs that have replaced the Dimension models.

For that matter, does anyone know what other Dell PCs have this "issue"?

Thanks.

Most cases with the drive sitting "sideways" in the front of the case are now using right angle sata cables, not just Dell's.
