If you're really looking to save money, don't forget about IDE RAID
controllers, we've had good luck with the Adaptec variety for small
branch-office servers. You can even get hot-swappable IDE controllers and
drive trays from 3ware and Promise.

If money is an issue, buy a server with an integrated RAID controller.
Performance may not be the same as a RAID controller with huge cache, but
you still get the advantage of hot swap, and no OS overhead.
