No it a different cable and interface. You can add a PCI IDE controller if you want. Another option is to buy a USB encloser and mout you HD in it. Another option is a SATA to IDE converter, I think you have 4 SATA ports on your system.

Thinking about this some more, I should be able to
-disconnect one of my optical drives temporarily,
-hook up the old IDE HD,
-dump the files I need to my existing 160GB HD
- then remove the old HD and reconnect the optical drive.
Make sense to anyone else?
