My place of work, (the name of which I can?t say on here) throws all of its old hardware in a backroom. Now every couple of months some unlucky employee gets stuck with the job of throwing it all out, this time it was me. While most of its completely worthless, a couple of items stuck out to me, two 15K 300GB Seagate Cheetahs. Now my first impression was, the drives must be broken. So I asked a coworker to see if that was indeed the case, I came back the next day and he told me they were working great.
So now, I have two of these beasts sitting on my desk and I don?t have a clue what to do with them. I would like to hook them up to my home computer, but I?m not really familiar with SCSI, so I?m not sure how to do that.
My Computer Specs:
ASUS Striker Extreme
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
4GB of DDR2 800 RAM
Two BFG 8800GTX Water Cooled
Two 150GB Raptors in Raid 0
ASUS PhysX Card
Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite
PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW-SR
I don?t know that much about SCSI but I do know that I need a PCI card. Problem is both of the PCI slots on the Striker are already being used. Could I get a PCI-e card and use it in the third PCI-e slot? More importantly would that cause any problems with the two 8800GTXs I have running in SLI?
Here? the info for the two Seagate drives.

Also would it be possible to run the two drives in raid 0?
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
