Connectors for CD ROM?

I am putting together my new system and I am befuddled. With my old PC, I connected everything with IDE cables including my DVD and CD ROM drives. With my NEW system, there is a port specifically for the floppy drive, an IDE port that supports two hardrives, and then 4 sata hookups. Where do I plug the CD/DVD in? This is very confusing to me. Any help is appreciated. If it helps, I have this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138037
 
Oh adding too... the mobo came with a SATA cable and a 4 pin to SATA power cable. Where do those go?

This is my first "from teh ground up" build so bear with me 🙂
 
You apparently had more than 2 ide drives in your rig and now have a mb that only supports 2. You will have to either use an ide card for additional channels, or substitute some sata drives for your current ide drives.
