Mac Pro. Need help with drive bay conversion

Hi

 

I'm in the middle of a Mac Pro (2006 - 2008) conversion and I'm stuck getting parts for a particular problem.

 

I want to retain the four hot-swap drive bays. Apple connect the data and power supply to the four drivebays using an SAS connector for the data and an eight pin connector for the power, both directly connected to the logic board.

 

This is the end of the drive bay wiring loom that connect the bays to the logic board:

I need a solution to plug into the data connection and convert this to four SATA cables to connect to an ATX motherboard. I can modify the power connection easily to two four pin Molex type connections.

 

Anything suggested would be nice if it was available in the UK or Europe. If anyone has done this conversion please post solutions, tips, suppliers ETC.

 

Thanks for any suggestions or comments.
