    Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

    I'm in the first stages of designing a case, and due to the layout of the case I'd like to have the monitor cable run parallel to the backplane of the motherboard. Rather than bend the monitor cable (tight space, would have to be a sharp bend) I'd like to know if I can get a 90° adapter for my VGA port?

    Any ideas?

    the vga monitor connectors are called Hd-15 or D-sub 15 connectors. So in the past when I made worked on my mod I looked into using right angle D-sub 15 connectors but ended up just soldeirng off the back of the board.
    Anyways yah they do exist try search for D-sub 15 right angle connectors or some such thing

    Just get a 15way D-Sub plug. If you're running the cable inside your case, you shouldn't need a hood at all.
    Just be careful to sleeve your solder connections. :dremel:
