So this would let me have more SATA slots, where can I fit the drives? Are there cases with built in power? So I do have to run seperate cables to each drive no matter what, correct?

My current board only supports 4 SATA hard drives, and I just got another to make a total of 5. New boards only seem to support 6 internal and 2 external SATA drives. I am sure in the future I will end up having more than that at this rate since I already want a raptor for my OS. I know there...
