It somehow never occurred to me to ask out here... I'm looking for an IDE RAID card that supports at least 4 drives. Looks like my choices are limited if I want to keep it at a decent price, but before I go and buy one from some online outlet, does anyone reading this have one they want to sell/barter for?

I have an Adaptec SCSI raid card. I tried to dump it at our last garage sale. I had several people ask me what "SCSI" was, and my reply was, "If you have to ask, then you don't want it."

Software RAID works pretty well these days... you sure you need one?

I left out 2 pretty important points:
1) I want a RAID 5 setup
2) I already have the 4 80GB drives
