[CoLoCo] signs of the apocalypse, and I need server hardware

[W S]

Your choices are between the fakeraid stuff, or a "real" raid

Or, just use software raid.

We're going to go with a Linux box running BackupPC.  We're going to buy 3 or 4 Seagate SATAII drives and place them in a RAID5 configuration. I was hoping to find some used/free hardware for the rest of the system.  Our minimum requirements: a good RAID controller and (naturally) SATA compatibility.  If anyone has a suggestion or some unneeded hardware, let me know.
