Just look and see how many connectors you have. If you trace back the connectors from your current hard drive, that should help you locate them. In case you're not familiar with the types, IDE connectors take a ribbon cable about 2" wide while SATA take a narrow cable about 0.5" wide.

IDE = 2 per connector on your motherboard.

SATA 1 per connector on your motherboard.

The most IDE drives I've ever seen in one computer is 4 whereas I've seen six or more SATA connectors on one system.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

However I think your problem won't be IDE channels but space to install the actual harddrives
In that case there would be nothing stopping him from transplanting the guts of the PC into a case with lots of bays. I've seen cases designed for RAID fileservers, with 8 drive bays.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
