This is true, and I think the boxes support PCI. However, bay space
inside is limited, and unless there's an 8-drive IDE external box out
there I've not seen yet, adding more/bigger drives is only an option for
so long.

That being said, I'm getting some rumblings about drive donations, which
would mean that we don't have to spend money on drives at all...
