Dvd drive plugs in where? cant believe I have to ask.
Last response: in Storage
And to think I want to do overclocking... lol
But anyway, i have the drive plugged in with the power supply, and I don't see anywhere the drive can't plug into the mobo aside from the sata ports. is that right?

It depends on the DVD drive. Some come with IDE connectors, 40 pins in two rows. Some come with SATA connectors, 8 pins in an L shape.
We could help better if we knew the model of the DVD drive (to figure out which interface it uses) and the motherboard (to see where that connector is, if it exists).

This is your motherboard, right?

You'll need to attach the drive using two cables - the cable that goes onto the larger connector on your DVD drive should be plugged into one of the cables coming from your power supply - it doesn't matter which one, any cable that fits the connector will be fine.
The other cable is the data cable - it can be plugged into any SATA port on the motherboard - those are the six yellow sockets just to the right of the green IDE connector socket.
