year perc5/i off ebay for $100 is the cheapest you'll get raid 6 for...
my 2220 highpoint rocketraid doesnt support raid 6

I really like 3ware - they recently came through for me with some well above-and-beyond
the call of duty customer service, so they've converted me for life now.
I think all of 3ware's PCIe cards do RAID 6, am not sure about PCI-X. 3ware doesn't seem to be very cheap on eBay (here in the UK - not so sure about the USA) but many of their SATA cards will still be under warranty - if you can get the vendor to give you the serial number then you can check the date of manufacture on 3ware's site.
Not a criticism: why the recommendations for the PERC5i? Just the price? I don't really have an impression of it as a high-quality RAID card, but maybe a lot are coming on the market at the moment?
My bias: 3ware have good Linux drivers.

There is always Areca. Hardware RAID with up to 24 ports. The 11xx line is PCI-X: http://areca.us/products/pcix.htm
I used to have a 1130ML and it worked rather well.

The perc5/i is a good card because it can have a battery backup and onboard RAM for good performance.
