Various Promise controllers (TX2, TX4, 4302) fall in the high end of that 
range, as do (PCI 2-port) SiI 3112 controllers. There's also the SiI 3124 
(PCI-X 4-port) and SiI 3132 (PCIe x1 2-port) but those are in -CURRENT only 
or you need to MFC them yourself (I can give you a tarball of that, but 
obviously those are all way off the supported track). Those SiI cards will go 
for about $30, I think.

ICH is -- unless Intel has suddenly started packaging them on discrete 
cards -- probably not an option.
