Why you should always double check

I wanted to give a quick update. My computers been running excellently since i finished the build. But there was one small thing that I had over-looked. Since all of my drives have been recycled from the last build and then going back and back I still have IDE cdroms, and my primary hard drive is still an IDE drive. While almost all motherboards still come with one IDE controller, not all of them come with two IDE controller. So currently I do not have any CDRoms working, lol. Fortunatly I ordered a PCI expansion card from newegg to give me two extra IDE controllers. These are incredibly cheap, mine cost $15. But read the fine print, some are made to only function as raid controllers, some will only work with hard drives, so make sure you know what you’re getting.
My IDE controller will be arriving tomorrow
