you mean the cable for the dvd drive & such?? 
 
tbh you will struggle getting it any longer than it is, as it will suffer serious signal degredation and then you will get shitloads of read errors & such 
 
tbh ot worth the hastle, no matter how unique it would be!

If you used decent quality cable you should be able to pull it off. 
Ide cables are only supposed to be a couple of feet max. 
You can make them much much longer using cat5e. 
Do a trial run with one of teh cables.

the wire arent long enough to reposition the boards or the dvd drive so all has to go in as a unit unless i manage to get longer cables
