Lack of IDE

[Pezmc]

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=518624 I love this motherboard but I have a dvd drives and three hard drives and these are all ide. Is there a mother board the same as this but with more ide?

I don't know what that is.
I also have a small budget and everything was nice apart from this motherboard not having enough ide 🙁

PCI IDE controller card. Look it up on Newegg, they're fairly cheap ~ $10 - $20.

Its a card that goes in an expansion slot that will allow you to use more IDE drives.

this one will allow you to use 2 more IDE drives for a total of 4

Can you reccomend one that takes 2 ide hard drives at once yet is still quite cheap. So far i am totaly redoing my pc for only £212 (New ram, graphics card, motherboard, cpu)
Also does anyone know of a motherboard solution,i really don't want to mess with more things that can go wrong my pc is so unstable already.

Most motherboards these days will have at least 4 SATA connections (4 drives) and one or two PATA (40-pin connectors) for up to 4 more drives. You can easily adapt PATA hard drives to use SATA connectors. Adapters like this are under $15. each here in the states.

Any idea how that Syba compares to the Rosewill made one?:

No idea but I like the Syba because the contacts are all enclosed. IAC, Rosewill doesn't make anything. They are just one of Newegg's in-house packagers.
