Hard Drive cage and SATA question

When I bought my case years ago, it had space for only 2 hard drives.

This is getting irritating. Is there some way to buy a cage (not sure if that's what they're called) and attach it to my case (or replace the existing one) - that will allow 4 HD's? My case is Enlight 7250.

Also, I'm sure you get this asked a lot: My motherboard does not support SATA. Is there any hope for me?

Thanks.

1. You can get adapters to put hard drives in your 5.25" bays.

You could also pull your floppy drive and put a 3rd hard drive into the Enlight cage.

2. You can get a PCI SATA card.
