I will be using the SATA for most of the things that i want to do but have a couple of ide drives that i would like to use for storage since i already have them but the D975XBX2 only has one ide controller and i am using that for two cd/dvd drives.
is there a controller card that would allow use of the ide drives or can i get some sort of external enclosure that would hook up to the USB or external SATA port ???

its a Rosewill IDE Device to SATA Device Mini Vertical Bridge (for IDE device) Model RC204

If you go to newegg and type in "rosewill rc204" under "search" it should come up its a ide-sata adapter its 12 bucks.
