Running IDE devices on Asus A8N SLI Deluxe

[DefChild]

I am purchasing this board sometime next week but I have 5 IDE devices (cdrw, dvdrw, 3 HDD) and no SATA. I think this board has primary/secondary IDE meaning 4 devices. Is there anyway to run all 5 without buying a IDE Controller card? Or, if I have to buy one anyone have any suggestions?

You need to buy another controller card, or purchase a SATA to IDE adaptor.
