I wonder what the 6 80 gigs would get on ebay. Enough to buy three 250's, and raid5 them? Looks like they're about 40-50 dollars on ebay. Times 6.. 300 bucks. Ok, not quite enough :) But if you're buying new drives anyways, this would easily take care of your case issues, saving you a couple hundred bucks there.
