Does anyone know how long a SATA cable I would need to connect a hard drive in the lower optical bay of a cMP 5,1 to a SATA PCIe card without it getting too cramped (or unnecessarily long)?

I already installed a SATA power splitter from the lower SATA connector, and actually did put in a SATA cable to go from the PCIe card, but it's too short and I ended up not using it anyway at the time.

I'd like to order the cable without reassembling the computer (I remember it was quite a hassle to do -I think I had to put it underneath one of the PCBs and past the power supply).
