[CentOS] "dumb" SATA controller recommendation

Just wondering if any 4.2 users out there have a favourite "dumb" PCI 
controller to add a couple of SATA ports to a motherboard that doesn't 
include SATA support.  I'm not looking for anything fancy, just 2 SATA 
ports that a recent vintage kernel will recognize without a lot of 
configuration gymnastics.  The intended use is for relatively light 
weight internet browser workstations for younger students.

Suggestions would be very much appreciated. 

Cheers,
