Hey, I have 4 things running off my IDEA ports (2 HDD's, a CD/RW and a DVD/RW)

I need a cheap way to get myself another IDE port, I heard you can get a PCI card that does this, but I don't really know what I would need. (I want to add another 60GB 7200RPD HDD).

Thanks.

Remember: Cheap is the keyword here. :)

Get another ide cable and take the connecter off,
Put it onto ur existing ide cable
Which gives u a extra ide port :clap:
