I've had good luck with two opticals on a single IDE channel, but some drives have been problematic. If you're going to get serious about this then IDE->FW or IDE->USB adapters might be the way to go.
The case you pointed to includes two FireWire (1394) adapters each of which can handle two IDE devices. The case to computer connection would be FireWire so you'd need that on your computer. ($10-20 for a card if yours doesn't already have it.)
