Could it partly be for easier maintenance the way it is?
Seems more accessible on the top middle/back of the card as they are, but I would be willing to give up the easy access in favor of out of sigh ast @Outback Bronze suggests in the above post.

Why cant video card manufacturers make the power inputs at the end of the cards?
compatibility issues with card length and cases.
much simpler and easier to state the card length with no needed (and potentially variable) wiring space.

someone just needs to make PCI-E extension cables without the honking massive chunk of plastic on the end, right angle or not.

Google is god damn amazing when you use it, isnt it?
Sometimes. ;)
I've actually ordered from here before though. They will make what ever you want in any color you want. Fast too.
