Perhaps the best way to see what all is on there (except maybe tearing apart) is to download Belarc Adviser. I am not positive, but I think you might be able to connect the DVD to the CD drive to get audio. Wait until someone else says first though.

As for the optical drives, if they are SATA, there should be a flat cable about a 1/2 in wide from each drive to the motherboard SATA ports and a power connector from the PSU to each drive.
Abit are on the low end of motherboards. A 60gig hard drive? That would make it about 4 years old or better. Hope fully the rest of the system isn't of the same vintage. USB or internal wireless what?
