Well I'm halfway through my first build and have run into a snag. The hard drive that I bought is not a SATA like I somehow believed it to be, it is this:

And when hooking it up to my motherboard, which is this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131030
I noticed that I couldn't hook it up to the SATA inputs (it not being a SATA and all) so I had to hook it up through the IDE connector. But since there is only one IDE connector on my motherboard, this means that I can't hook up a CDROM drive or anything else, right?
Most likely, I will just get a SATA hard drive and forget about it, but I'm wondering if there is a way I can hook the computer up with this configuration.
So if I got this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144415
I would be cool right?
Thanks in advance.
