PATA/SATA/SCSI controllers? RAID controllers? If the iMac had enough grunt & memory slots as a PowerMac most users would go for that instead.

I filled up two slots for USB 2 cards. I thought the first card didn't work, so I got another one. In total I have 5 USB ports in 2 PCI slots. I only needed one for my Coolscan V ED.

... case cooler.
how does this one look?
anyways, for the pci sata controllers, does it also have a master/slave config?

and quite effective in cooling things up especially with most of my pci slots filled up, reduces core cpu temp (according to software sensors) by at least 2-3 degrees.
You no longer need to setup master/slave configurations on a serial ata bus.

@HAL9000
so, it will only be 1:1 ratio for sata drive and controller?
where did you buy the case cooler? how much?
@sir Adel
are the firewire ports 400 or 800?
