Mine didn't - and you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find IDE cables locally!

It says it comes with an ide cable, mine did, and newegg picture of the box contents show an ide cable included.

You are right!  I double checked the boxes of the three that I ordered and none of them came with IDE cables!    I'm gonna have to give newegg a call...

Did you get them Open Box?  If they were brand new then they definitely should have the IDE cable in them; if Open Box, then nothing is guaranteed to be in there )othe than the mobo itself).
