I will warn, though, that you're probably going to want to have that
CDROM connected on it's own IDE cable or you'll get really crappy
performance out of the other drive on the same cable. Though at least
locally (Portland, OR, USA), computer stores tend to have two big bins
by the front door with a FREE sign above them: One is full of power
cords, the other of CD audio cables, so there's not much excuse to not
fix this in hardware...
