I need to replace the X58 Pro-E motherboard on my DS computer.  The computer is not for high end use so I can still use the older 1366 chip set.  I was just going to buy another X58 MB and use the same CPU.  This X58 has a IDE connector for the two CD drives. 
The newer X58s, MSI and ASIS, dont have the IDE connecter on the MB.  They just have the serial ata connectors on the MB. My two CD drives dont have SATA ports.
 
If I get the new X58 MB how can I connect to my two CD drives?  Is there a SATA to IDE cable?  Do I have to buy new CD drives?  Is there a place to buy an old X58 MB?
 
Thanks for your help.
