Do you already own that DVD drive?
If not...do not buy it. Just get a regular SATA DVD drive.


Plus which...that is only a reader. You can't write to a DVD with it.

But if you must, here is a PCI-E->IDE adapter card:

$24

(more than the cost of a SATA DVD drive)

The reason I'm trying to use this drive is because it's one of the few that's compatible with a program I'm trying to use that can read Gamecube games.

If I buy that what else would I need?

If I buy that what else would I need?

An IDE cable from that to the drive.

An IDE cable from that to the drive.

Wouldn't I also need a molex to sata power adapter?

Does your PSU already have molex connectors?
If not, then yes, you need an adapter.

I'd have to check, but thank you for your help

These would do the job cheaply, but the adapter will stick out the back of the DVD. May have to watch clearances around the PSU and such.
