Do any of these SATA hdd come with their own cables? Or will I have to buy some more to set these bad boys up. Currently using both sata cables in my setup..

edit: Also there are only 2 sata ports on my mobo... how Will I install more drives
 
Do you currently have two drives in your setup already (SATA)? Then it's either new motherboard time, or a PCI Sata card which is cheap.

OEM cards generally don't ship with any cables, just the drive in an electrostatic bag.
 
Only 2 sata ports? :S Even my 4 year old motherboard came with 4 sata ports! I paid about £12 for a 2 port PCI-E sata controller a few months back, but you can get 4 port ones for a few quid more if you look around, although a PCI one will do if its just for storage.
