-> I haven't seen any SATA CD/DVD drives though, which means ribbon cables for a
-> while longer.  I also haven't seen PSUs with SATA power plugs, which means
-> adaptors there too.

 I saw one just the other day. Besides Adapters are easily avaialble.
And for those that want to jump on the SATA bandwagon for "Bragging
Rights" there are SATA to IDE cable adapters on sale right now.
