2 dvd writers
and most impotantly-my hdd caddy for my ide ata 133 drives (caddy uses the same cable as the hdd's and dvd writers-not sata config)

I believe the motherboard only has 1 ide port (2 Drives).
It does have 8 SATA ports, so you could look at upgrading to SATA caddies. Overclockers do those too. Of course, thats if theres only you using it . . .

Or you could look at getting a IDE controller card. Though these can be a bit hard to come by these days.
 
The IDE to SATA converters are a good idea and i used them myself or a while until i got SATA drives.

Worth checking they work with your mobo forst tho, although they were fine with my DS4
