If you're not interested in Raid then I'd suggest the Adaptec 1200A (I'd double check at home if this was the exact model). I believe I bought it at CompUSA (I think). It was less than $100 (or was it $50) and works just as fast as the onboard ATA controller on my board.

However if you really want to do a pata raid the lowest priced card that I could see is the Adaptec 1891300 Ata Raid 2400A at around $70.

Sorry bout not helping you find the exact store, just too lazy right now.
