I have had good success with 3ware IDE RAID controllers, which can go up to 12 devices and come with single PATA or SATA for all drives that the card supports.

If you want to go SCSI you can get some great deals on older Mylex RAID Controllers which have some of the coolest software (once you can find it...some of the part numbers are kind of cracked out, but they have simplifed the driver sets some what) but do not forget to count the cost for terminated SCSI Cables, and the fact that you will need more drives. Check the hot deals forum at 2cpu.com for good SCSI sources.
