Hey everyone, my dad has shown extreme interest in me building him a new machine for our music room, and I have everything set up...but then it hit me, he has two HDDs and two disk drives, all IDE...and the mobo I have picked out only comes with one IDE plug. This is a problem, as I *really* like the mobo I picked and really dislike the LGA775 motherboards that come with two IDE plugs.

So [H], I come to you with a question. Whats a cheap IDE controller card, non-raid, that will simply run without hassle? My father is not a tech person by any means and would dislike even having to go through an extra menu at POST. Does anyone have any ideas as to what to get?
 
If you want a cheaper one, I could sell you one for $12 shipped, lol. The ones at Newegg typically go on sale for $10-$12 from time to time. Pretty much any one of them should work fine, as long as they support what you need. If you want to run an optical drive, make sure they'll support it.
