an old hp smart-2?
I got myself a Dell PERC 6/i on Ebay for a few hundred dollars. There are still plenty of the previous Dell PERC 5/i models out there for even cheaper. Even though they are just rebranded LSI cards they are about a quarter of the price of buying new, and are one of the few ESXi compatible cards with RAID management built right into ESXi.
