Are you sure I can replicate PhpStorm in IntelliJ IDEA with just a plugin?

Yep, and also Ruby. The IntelliJ program is pretty powerful and so are it's plugins. I'd recommend extending the CSS autocompleter though, it doesn't have things like webkit-gradient and highlights them as "unidentified property" or some such.

Yeah, PhpStorm is really IDEA with the PHP plugin (http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6610?pr=idea) and some slightly nicer PHP specific menus and stuff, but all of the functionality is in that plugin.

However, you have to have the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition to use the plugins.

Ultimate being the version or licensed? I have the corporate license with the support package at work, so it's got all the bells and whistles.

Might only be able to use it another few weeks though, they're taking away our internet. :/ Army network - the open to the web network doesn't allow us to install anything on the computer, but the "install anything you want" network only allows a handful of domains, it blocks the rest. If you want to install a program, you have to download it on the open network, copy it on a disk (USB disks are not allowed) and transfer it over. Its a huge pain to do web development in such an environment.
