I bought a drive, was told it came w/ cables...it did not. I bitched, I yelled, they wont cooperate (I f*cking hate ebay anymore...)
SO...what cables do I need? IDE, I know...power, sure. If I roll into compusa, they'll have this, right?
This is all I got...a drive. I'll probably need a sheath and screws?

all you need is the ide cable that's it. get a 40 pin 80 wire ribbon. they work a lot better on the ata 100/133 drives.

are you replacing any of the cd drives ?
here are the cables config from left to right as shown in your pic:
digital audio output, analog audio output (can use the old one from your motherboard), the jumper pins, the ide cable, and the power cable (the power source should have it)
