im building yet another pc ..... i just got a evga 680i sli mobo and there is no place to plug in a cdrom ? there is just 1 ide spot for a hd and a spot for a floppy? it comes with a cd and a 3.5" floppy for raid drivers but i need to install things off the cd . what the hell is goin on here?

The one IDE port on the mobo can support two devices (one master, one slave). If you have an IDE hard drive, you should make it the master and set the CD-ROM to be the slave. If you require additional IDE devices you will need to purchase a third party PCI IDE card.
