What's a good basic midi controller?

Hey folks...

I'm putting together a little synth rack, but one thing I'm missing is a good midi keyboard/controller. Currently I'm using my roommates Triton, but it's about twice the size of the rest of the rack put together.

So I guess I'm hoping someone can tell me a thing or two about midi controllers, what's cheap, what's a good brand, where's a good place to look...

I'm looking for something pretty basic. All I'm really concerned about is that it has at least 4 octaves & is relatively small & light, yet sturdy & free of most bells & whistles.

If anyone has one they'd part with, that would be great too
