I know this seems really kind of silly, but I've never built a computer before and when I got the P5VDC, I started connecting everything and I had no idea how or where to connect the CD-rom...eheh...Because in the other motherboards that I've practiced on and everything, there were those two wide blueslots (not the ram ones, of course. Dx), one for the HDD and one for the CD drive thing...But in this mobo, theres only one wide blue thing, and thats for the HDD. On the bottom middle of the picture...So where and how do I connect the CD-rom?

I feel really very silly for asking this, but I hope youll excuse my ignorance. I just really don't want anything to be messed up in my first computer that I built...ya know?
Thanks in advance.

Check the mainboard manual it covers everything. http://www.asus.com

It is either the one near the ITE controller (which is the 3rd party IDE/RAID controller, plug just below the PCI slots, top left of image).

Or, as above, it is on a 90 degree angle and to the left of the standard IDE controller.
