I don't think I'm that serious yet ... that seems like a bit of an investment at this point.
I never thought of a controller card (great thinking; i was unaware they made IDE controller cards), but I've been toying with the idea of an external drive for some time now. I've been on the lookout for some inexpensive 5.25" enclosures and a 3.5" or two and this would be a great use.
The controller card would work all right though. I suppose I could put together a rig and get a few IDE controllers and just put in a bunch of drives ... I'd have to rig up my own case though and I guess i'd need a decent PSU.
