I bought just the controller card and cables and software for about $200
If you add a hard disk, a powersupply and enclosure, I'd guess that the
cost would rise to no more than $500, possibly less. I don't actually
know, because I wasn't interested in a PSU or a disk (I already had both).
I'd say give them a call, or write. If you DO phone, don't be put off if
it sounds like a private residence, it's a small company, and I think
they don't have a proper switchboard operator. Whoever can get it answers
the phone.
