I'm going to do some more research. The RAID card is the only thing that's holding back my build and it's driving me crazy. I'm at work all day so I don't really have time to research stuff during the week.

From what I understand, some on board ram is highly recommend and, in some cases, required for RAID 5. That also means that if you want a completely reliable setup you will want a battery to keep the unwritten data from becoming lost or the array from becoming corrupt.
If you're only doing a media server you should seriously consider unRAID or FlexRAID as performance isn't very important and you'll have more flexibility and still have redundancy, not to mention that it will cost a lot less as you don't need a hardware RAID card.
EDIT: Maybe I missed something but a good software RAID might be what you're looking for.
