RAID controller

[kur1j]

Going to RAID 5 my file server. Does this look like a decent deal for this PERC 5/i?

Going to get some cooling and some cables for my SATA drives and should be good to go correct?

Yes but you also need to buy a PCI retention bracket for it.

Or ghetto mod one like some others do.

know a place off hand to get one? Would one from an old PCI card work?

I am under the impression you are talking about the metal thing on the right hand side of this picture
