Just bought a new motherboard - Fanless dual-core Intel Atom. Dual SATA ports which is what I wanted, but there's no IDE port on it.

Was wondering how I'm going to connect up my usual CD-ROM drive to boot Linux into it, but I've remembered I have a USB CD-ROM drive ... somewhere!

Thanks for the replies - just to clarify though, I don't need a cd-rom for it, just to load Linux onto it. No point leaving a cd-rom drive in it when it's going to be on a data centre 300 miles away...
