for others doing this:

newegg has a a facility to get info on the components, many of which come with no instructions:
go to My Account; open it and select your recent order, open that; and click on the side of the component you are trying to figure out; go to:
Manufacturer Product Page or one of the other things

right now, I'm trying to determine what cables to plug into the back of the WD Caviar HDD
- it has to want a power cable (attached to the power supply) and an information cable (Serial ATA I'd guess, which is about 1 cm wide and yellow).

the HDD has other connections on it too - I dunno if they are duplicative or need some other cables
The MB should have come with data cables. The power supply should have flat cables which connect to the disk drive. If not, then you need an adapter cable, which are about $1 each, which convert the old 4 pin to the flat cable.
