Adaptec 2906. Fast SCSI2, 10MB/s. Fast enough for any burner. I actually have the Adaptec 2930 for my burner. Ultra SCSI2, 20MB/s (I believe). I picked it up for $80 at Mwave about 9 months ago. It's a dependable controller for old SCSI drives, burners, CDROMs, and things of that sort. The 2940U2W is a sweet card, but you don't need it if you're just going with a burner.
