Besides the norrmal surfing/email, etc type stuff, I mostly use the computer to listen to my music (rather then swapping cd's). So I have been looking at the Low Power gOS motherboard (like in the Walmart gOS pc), as a low power music/backup system.

Since it is low power, and my plan is to leave it on, I have been wanting to make it my NAS/Backup box, but I need to find either a SATA (preferable), or PATA, pci raid card. Any suggestions?

I've had good luck w/ 3-Ware for Linux RAID, and the twcli script is a breeze to get checks going in Nagios. Also note that Linux software RAID is also really good for this kind of stuff.
