Damn that enter key gets away from me sometimes!

I am novice when it comes to raid and scsi in systems... partly b/c I am a broke college student. I have gotten a taste for more preformance from my drives especially hard drives. I would like to setup a raid/scsi controller in my box (Tyan dual 1.2 amd mp's) that would give me some speed. I am not a recent lottery winner so money is a priority in my descision and would like to g et some input as to what controllers would meet my needs. I am trying to find that sweet spot where price doesn't sky rocket... other words for the money what controllers can I get that will offer the best performance without cracking say 200 bucks. Also what is considered out dated? Plain Ultra Scsi? Any info would be great!
Thanks,
Josh
