Have a Fatal1ty AN8 SLi.

Because of the waterblock on the GPU I've no room for any more than one PCI card. I can't move the GFX card to the other slot because of the block on the NB. Currently I've a SATA controller in the PCI slot. I've 8 hard drives connected at the moment. 4 250s on the 4 ports on the motherboard, 2 PATA on a PATA cable and 2 other SATA on the SATA controller card.

Ideally I'd like to get my TV card back in, but that means using a PCI-E slot for the SATA controller. Speed isn't an issue, the two drives there are for storage only.

Does such a thing exist yet?

I like the Areca ARC-1230 myself but most people don't need Raid6 support
