Thanks Jonathan,

Ebay UK didn't turn up much (althought there was a few in the US). 
However just tried googling a bit more and I've come across a 3ware 
Escalade 7506-4LP for about ?200.00 which supports upto 4 drives so that 
should be suitable for my purposes, plus it looks quite small (being a 
Low-Profile card) so should fit in the rack as well. 

Okay I'm getting a bit over my head now.  Anyone see any problems 
putting 2 of these in the same machine. After a few other comments I was 
thinking of trying 2 x RAID-1's.

Regards

Lee
