Hi Khasraw,
I am not quite clear of your problem in reading your posting. Is it your case big enough to house the 3rd hard disk? If 'yes' it is not complicate. Connect the 1st and 2nd hard disks as master and slave to the primary IDE slot (I suppose you are running IDE ATA hard disk) and connect the 3rd hard disk as master to secondary IDE slot and CDROM as slave.
If you have another IDE CDWriter then you have to get an ATA PCI adapter to connect the 3rd hard disk and connect the CDWriter as master to secondary IDE.
