Ok so im looking to buy another hard drive, i have an older system, so i need an IDE type. the problem is, is that i really cant find any. tiger direct really dont have anything in my price range. but newegg kinda did, i just want like a 120GB IDE HD, i dont care if its ultra. but try to keep it between 50-75 tops. any help would be cool. also if someone could explain the difference between ATA, SATA, IDE....any help is greatlyyy appreciated!

kthx.
bryan.
