Am trying to build an Atomic Ant and got in all the parts from NewEgg.

Here's my slimline DVD writer:

Since it said IDE I was expecting ye olde ribbon connector. Instead it is this:

I've never seen this connector before (always built with a full-sized DVD drive before). Is there some kind of adapter or special cable I need, and more importantly, that I can run out and get at Micro Center?

Also, it didn't come with any mounting screws--the ones that came with the case seem too big. Any ideas there?

Thanks.

I think it's a laptop drive.
