RE: IDE Raid Controller concerns
Try plinkusa.net. I found a rack mount chassis there for $65+$30S&H that I love. No power
supply, but the chassis was nice. You would likely need a different one for what you want, but
the base price starts nicely. I've used three of them so far and like the way the air flows
and the way the case is constructed.

Missiles of ligneous or osteal consistency have the potential of fracturing osseous structure,
but appellations will eternally remain innocuous.
