Is it possable to run more than 4 things off a motherboard which only has 2 IDE outputs With a master and slave on each. I also know that i can use other means like SATA but i want to know if this is possable.
any comments will help...

Yes and No.

You cant off what you have at the momemnt,
BUT
You can buy an ATA Controller Card, which plugs into a PCI slot, which gives to 2 more channels, being to add upto 4 more devices, giveing you a total of 8 IDE Devices.

But just remember, the more things you add, the more power they need, so make sure that your powersupply is not a crappy cheap 250-300W, trying to run all that off it.
