    I would look at a Intel D915PGNL or the Intel Server Board SE7320SP2. The latter has a dual-channel EIDE for a total of four devices and a floppy disk controller. This sounds like your best bet.

    How about an external USB Hard Drive??? Won’t that work?

    You can hook it up via USB if you get a USB disk holder – you can find them on eBay.

    Or just buy an external Harddrive ;o)

    Get some external USB enclosures. Short of that, there’s not much else you can do. look on http://www.pricewatch.com and you can find them at different stores for cheap. Hook them all up on a hub and you should be fine.

    You could buy an external USB housing case (or firewire) and do it that way…

    USB external, or if you have SATA on your motherboard you can use that.

    they make a PCI card that has ide and sata connectors so you can install another ide cable (2 more hdd) and 2 SATA (2 SATA hdd) I actually got one of those gadgets free (included with a maxtor SATA HDD maxtor # L03M200)
