My dad's birthday is coming up in under a month, but it's so close to Christmas I'm going to just do a combined gift :laugh:

There should be an IDE cable with your motherboard. From the newegg picture it looks like it includes one :thumbsup:

You'll be able to connect two IDE devices with that one cable.

You might want to consider getting a SATA harddrive for the computer since the motherboard has that capability as well. I guess it doesn't really matter one way or the other which type you get though.

You're gonna get him a set of 7.1-channel Bose speakers, right? The most expensive ones they make? :evil:

I would 2nd that comment, IDE is on the way out. If you ever want to move the hard drive to a different machine at some point you almost need it to be SATA.
