How many devices can you connecto to an IDE cable? Am I right in thinking that SATA must be connected to an IDE cable not a SCSI cable?
Oh and an FDD. The case is a mid tower sized (Nokia 8850 4-Bay ATX Tower Case with 450W Power Supply), I'm pretty sure there is room for some more HDDs in it.

SATA goes to its own connector on the motherboard and nothing to do with any IDE or SCSI connections. If you have SATA and ide on a board then you could connect 8 devices. 4 hdd's on the SATA in stipe+mirror mode ( if raid is available ) and 4 on the ide !
