RE: 5 IDEs
Also you might want to check if your motherboard has RAID functionality. You can use the RAID IDE sockets to plug in extra hard drives and use them normally. Some motherboards can support 8 IDE devices (daisy chained).
The other option is to by a controller card, they're around $30 US and allow you to plug IDE devices in to them. The downfall? You need a spare PCI slot to put the card in to.
