The one IDE connection can only support 1 hard drive and 1 CD/DVD-ROM unless you add a PCI card to one of the slots or go SATA. The easier way to go is all external components as there are 8 USB connections. also any SATA devices can be hot swapped either external or internal. <br> I chose to buy an IDE/SATA to USB external extension cord to plug my old hard drives in for the migration of applications which is slightly cheaper than alohabob (the store PC relocater). <br> Although it is ready for TV out and Sony/Phillips Digital Interface, the Hi/def or Legacy97 connectors are labelled contrary to most Audio Front Panel jacks. <br> The only problem I had was the initial BIOS setup did not take the first try but worked fine on try2. Instructions said VERY IMPORTANT to load Xp OS first before adding Nvidia Driver support CD and I found that took 3 tries to get all the .dll's loaded, but finally worked. <br> Love all the BIOS features and the onboard ethernet jack got me on the web alot faster than expected. <br> I've got it at half full of memory at 2-1GB sticks with a dual core Athelon chip and it flies even though it had to read my RAM at 667. <br> So far it is great!
