I was thinking of buying rack gear myself, I was curious to know what (cost effective) gear I would need to go with an Engl 530? (Btw, is there anyway I could put it through a JCM900 combo?)

what you NEED to go with a preamp is basically a poweramp and a cabinet. (your JCM900 combo, if equipped with an effects loop, would work as these. Simply plug the preamp's 'out' into the JCM900's 'in', 'effects loop return' or something of the like.
However if you go the poweramp+cab route you can choose from some of these:
Poweramps:
Mosvalve.....$100-200 used on ebay. Discotinued. Great solid state poweramps.
Peavey Classic Series Poweramps.....$200-400 on ebay. Discontinued. cheapest tube poweramps out there, well worth it.
those are the "cost effective" ones that are geared for guitar. you can get a PA poweramp and use it too, though.
with cabs you can get $300 and look for some used marshall cabs or go avatar or look for a good deal on a Genz Benz G-Flex (i've seen 'em go for $275 on harmony central).

I doubt they'll have anything from Madison, Framus, Engl, Splawn, etc. but I haven't played any high gain tube amps before, so it would be a good idea for me to test out as many as I can, as I don't even know what makes a tube amp sound like a tube amp. :P I know it's like more "organic" and "natural" with tube saturation and shit, but honestly I have no idea what it really sounds like in real life.

I got a pretty good deal, 5150 block letter for $670, 1960 for $350. I personally haven't tried the G-Flex, but I'm more than sure enough that any high-end cab will sound good with it. I was somewhat worried when I bought it, as I thought it won't be tight and balanced as much as the matching 5150 cab might sound with it, but I'm more than satisfied now.

Thanks Halfmast',
Yeah so basicly I can get the E530 now and run it through my JCM900 until I can afford poweramp plus cab? Thanks for the info!
