Default Noob trying to install Second DVD Drive

Hi everyone im new here and new to working on computers.

I have a dell Dimensions E520 and im trying to install a second DVD drive there is no extra power for a second one and neather is for my Second Hard Drive so my first question is how to get power for both my second DVD drive and Hard drive, i found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

is that what i need to get some power for both my DVD and HD? I also found this

http://cgi.ebay.com/new-IDE-to-Seria...#ht_711wt_1165

Would that work as well? I have a IDE Female port at the end of the SATA cables going to my Computer. Here is some pics of my computer.




Which one do i need? would that IDE to SATA thing work?

or this? http://cgi.ebay.com/3-IDE-to-Serial-...#ht_2639wt_939

Ok after i got that settled and have the power i need, what is this Master Slave and CS thing? Is it on the back of the DVD drives or what? and What is this jumper thing? Sorry im completly new to this. I plan on buying this DVD Drive

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_3634wt_939

I want both DVD Drives to be able to burn at the same time, is this possible? Thanks for all the help!
