Help! RAID in Early 2008 Mac Pro

HI All,

I got asked to give a demo to a VC and I want it to be as fast as  
possible.

I have an early Mac Pro 2008 2 x 2.8 Quad Core, 16gb RAM.

I need to run linux on the Mac Pro for now (CentOS 5.4).

I can get one of these for like $180:

versus Apple's $699 RAID card.

1. After I install it, how do I hook up the drives and get power to  
them?

The case it tight.
I have all the drives and sleds removed and I have removed the front  
fan assembly already.

Best,
-Jason
