  What I am looking at is a Sans Digital Tower Raid TR8MB.  Nice external
  drive box. Has a Sata-II port (and cables) and comes with a
 PCI-express-1X
  card with two Sata-II ports.
 
  We have 2+ year old Dell servers, good machines, but none have  any
  PCI-express-1X slots.
 
  Anyone know of a workaround?  A sata-ii - usb adapter that's reliable?
 
  Or a old school card that does the sata-ii job?
 
  Thanks!
 
 
 This looks to be what you need:

I would like to show my computer videos on my TV.
How long a video cable can I use?
The TV is in another room.

All depends on how you are sending the signal - coax, svideo, component,
composite, ethernet, etc.
