First, clearly you will need a RAID card that supports four drives, and also room fo them!
RAID0 stripe you would use to add the capacity of the extra drives to your current setup (i.e. one massive partition, one drive letter)
RAID1 stripe will mirror the existing data for backup, so you will only benefit should a disk drive go down. Generally this is not used for home purposes, so you'll probably want 0.
Example: 4 160GB S-ATA HDDs
RAID0: C:/ total drive space: 640GB
RAID1: C:/ total drive space: 160GB D:/ total drive space: 160GB
or alternatively C:/ 160GB only for even better protection.
Generally, however, the 0 stripe option is favoured for speed and storage capacity, as cheap networks in excess of 500GB and 150MB/sec can be achieved.

Indeed, SLi seems ludicrously expensive even for what it is at present.
