You can get a RAID controller (mostly a PCI card) - I have absolutely no idea about the pricing. But, I seriously doubt anyone (home users, and yes, gamers!!!) needs a RAID setup. The only rationale I can think of to use RAID is fault tolerance/reliability and that is precisely why I use it (though it comes at double the cost).
