Yeah most mobo's have the option for both. soon enough sadly they will rid of IDE but not for awhile since it is still the "standard"

I don't see why it'd be any different than using just CD-ROMs and SATA hard drives.

You could also buy an IDE-to-SATA bridge, plut it into the CD drive, and then run the drive to a sata connector on the board. Then, no more ide cables hanging around.

Yeah, you can. I currently have 3 IDE HDD's, and 2 SATA HDD's running.
