Does anybody know where I can buy a motherboard that supports 11 or more ide devices? I can only find ones that support 4 and sometimes 6. I want to fill every slot in my case and it has 7 hard drives and 4 cd/dvd. If they don't go that high then how can I attach that many drives?

OK, why do you require 7 HDD's???

There is a mobo out that supports 8 SATA drives, but thats possibly the most you will find. I can't think of its name right now, but I saw it in a magazine I have at home so I`ll find it later.

Are you looking for an Intel or AMD mobo?

you can also get PCI IDE-extension cards which will let you hook up more devices...
