Well, go and look, the size of this beast make you maybe misinterpret the size of it. There is only 2 drive bays though, but three pci-x or pci slots, which will probably be enough for whatever you want to do. I suppose that the expansion cards capacity is more than enough, but two drive bays may indeed be not enough for you, altough two SATA 200GB drives in raid 0 situation may be already a lot.
