Hi,
I currently have my two hard drives occupying my primary ide slot and a cd drive and burner occupying my secondary ide slot. Would it be possible to add another ide hard drive to the mix? thanks

You could add a PCI IDE controller card. This would allow you to add an additional 4 IDE devices. You may have to watch the load on your PSU though.

I would not reccomend more than 3 hard dirves. I have 3 HD and a burner.
When you get on of those PCI controller cards, things tend not to work right. Why not get 2 big HD's? Or ditch the cd-rom, and rip the audio cd's to your HD then burn them?
