I'm looking at this PC to build for a friend of mine. Its a PC with a tight budget. I'm looking at this motherboard for an AMD system, and I'm having the dumbest dilema. I can't find any but one slot for IDE cables. If there is only one, how can I hook up the CD ROM/Hard Drive/Floppy?

Here is the link, check out the pictures. I can only find one, and its black

The floppy slot is different than the other IDE slots. Also, the IDE cables have 2 or 3 connections coming off of them.
 
You're not missing anything man, there's just one on that board. Weird. All you have to do is get a PCI IDE controller. Install that in one of the white PCI slots and you'll be good.
 
I showed it to a friend of mine. Apparently I'm used to seeing IDE slots right on top of the board. That lone stretch of blue boxes on the right side of the board "assuming your facing it the way its placed in your comp, the slots are mounted ON THE SIDE. I thought that was kinda weird. But in a sense thats better so I can tuck the cables UNDER the board. Thanks anyway guys.
