Your bays are full, but are you using all the sata ports on your board? You can get simple brackets that let you mount a normal sata drive in a pci slot (no connection to the actual slot connector). If your slots are all spoken for, you could combine a bracket with a generic sata card in another slot (assuming you have multiple slots free).
