You can either use an SATA to IDE adapter/converter, or you can buy an SATA PCI controller card.
It's amazing what you can find by doing a google search:

I would advise getting a multiport PCI card, so you have the capability of later adding more drives. Consider one that also has a couple of SATA-E external ports.
