I think this is the cheapest H67 mobo with IDE support-ASUS P8H67-M PRO-9.7k

Otherwise you'd have get a H67 mobo and use an IDE converter something like this-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270236&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-RSSDailyDeals-_-na-_-na&AID=10521304&PID=4003003&SID=xk9gu3228ipx

ide converters not good ..they spoiled my old motherboard.

suggest any h61/h67

Use a IDE <--> SATA converter, its the best as of now. Else you could get a VIA RAID card with IDE support. #Nishu had bought one 2 months back, I believe. However, booting from the drive is not 100% guaranteed

And, how did it spoil your old motherboard?

booting may not work always .. with converters.

somedays ago my mb dint recognise IDE drives at all .. since usin converters.

and company RMA said its irrepaiarable.

so no H61 /H67 with IDE possible.

For me, booting with the converters worked! Have not checked with the IDE add in card, though.

The mobo mentioned in the first post is the cheapest H67 mobo with IDE slot.

so no H61 /H67 with IDE possible.

Ya i used the converter it worked fine for a day or two but it failed to boot my drive after that.

So the best thing to do is to sell the IDE drive and buy the SATA one.

Else give it a shot,get a IDE converter which costs like <200. RS and try your luck.

Get ASUS H67-V. It is an ATX Mobo

It should cost you around 8K.

You can purchase it from Deltapage. I got it from them.

bought MSI H67MA-E35 B3 mobo .. used covnerter .. as expected mobo stopped working after 2hrs.

Going for repair/exchange tomorrow and will buy SATA HDD.

What a time waste....

bought it yesterday .. conekted all .. XP setup done .. windows starting ..crash .. from then PC not starting.

Used 2nd SMPS to check .. on both its not starting.

must be Mobo or processor problem.

Well, I have a small confession to make. I have SATA HDD drives, but an IDE ODD drive with which I have used the converter. That worked perfectly, but i felt that the setup was not nice and went for an add in card. That has worked well and still does. I burnt several discs ~ 5 DVDs in an hour at max speed.
