Help please. Want to add sata functionality to my older pc. I have already 2 extra 500gb sata drives as paperweights from upgrading to 1 tb on main pc. Can anyone recommend a pci card that will allow me to run 1 x ide drive (W/O reinstalling windows-too much work) plus 2 x sata drives for storage only, for a reasonable price that will function with an intel motherboard circa 2005? Was thinking of this.

I bought this card on eBay a few years ago for about $20 shipped. Works great and supports the full SATA 300 speed which is nice. The one you linked is limited to 150 speeds, but honestly, you might never notice the difference.
Just bought a couple of these. I have two from previous deals with rebates but I'm in the need right now and $70 shipped for a couple of these isn't bad.

mx-100 doesn't have a fan. i have both enclosures and the 100 gets really hot. the mx-1 is a good enclosure. they go on sale from time to time at fry's for $30 as well.
