GA-965P-DS3 IDE/SATA QUESTION

[shadow300z]

Hi guys, I just build a conroe system with one of these boards and forgot there is only 1 IDE connection on it. Well I have 4 IDE drives and I was hoping you guys could point me to an adapter that might be carried by a local retailer(best buy or circuit city).

Thanks, also is it normal when I start up to see the CPU fan start and stop once or twice?

Thanks in advance!

At bestbuy there is this ata controller card for $40 => http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6562613&type=product&id=1077630480492

I didn't see anything on circuit city website...

I went on ebay and purchased an ata raid controller card for $18 after shipping. It should work if even you don't use raid, just it takes a while for it to ship... => http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-PCI-Ultra-ATA-133-100-IDE-RAID-Controller-Card-NR_W0QQitemZ330018801413QQihZ014QQcategoryZ39968QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
