scsi or sata

i am currently in the process of building a new rig, is there much point of me getting scsi (15k) drives over sata drives (probably raptors).

with scsi drives needing a card for them to work how would i go about installing windows on a new build with scsi drives?

thanks

i was thinking about getting two drive off of ebay secondhand, and was going to use them with my asus P5WDG2-WS Pro motherboard

could anyone recommend a scsi card, only need to run up to 4 drive but has to be 320 ultra

the motherboard i have has 2 pci-x slots, does that give me any more options or is it best to go with the dell option?

i did read about people taking apart the cards and selling the battery and memory

yer the board has a very good spec list, i picked my up off my friend for £120 as he was planning on building a new rig but he is going to make do with his for the time being

i'm not really up to scratch with scsi cards, would £150 budget for a card be enough or is that too little?
