PCI RAID for 'gift'

[kaosent at kewd.com]

Hello All,

	My wife has done the unthinkable this season! She decided to buy me
a new server for our small office, which I am more than excited about,
except for one paramount detail...

It is a respectable 1U server with the following specs from manual:
Dual (2) IntelR XEONT 2.8GHz HT Processors 
533MHz Front Side Bus, Hyperthread
512K L2 Cache 
Intel E7501 Server Chipset
2GB PC2100 ECC Reg. DDR Memory
Dual (2) 160GB SATA Hard Drives, 8MB Buffer 
52x Sony CDROM Drive (black) 
8MB Onboard ATIR RageT XL 
Intel 10/100Mbps NIC 
Intel Gigabit NIC

And now the problem:
SuperMicro Board comes with onboard RAID, an Adaptec ICH5R SATA controller.

I am not a computer expert, nor an expert with respect to FreeBSD, but there
is really no other operating system that I am willing (nor trust) to run on
our server. The retailer will not accept return or exchange, so I am stuck
with this thing. Can anyone provide any suggestions to overcome this
problem? Maybe suggest a compatible pci raid card or something to make the
system work in a raid configuration with the existing HD's?

Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so very much for you help.
