I was looking at this http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16811112109

with maybe something like this

http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16817995001

in it.

Or something like this
http://rackmountmart.stores.yahoo.ne...racchaso1.html
with 17 3.5" bays: 16 raid, 1 for OS

Is there much of a difference in using a PCI-X card vs a PCIe x8 card for a Raid Controller.
