Keep one of those 250GB as storage and buy one or two 36.7GB 15000RPM U360 SCSI drives.

RAID is a volume topology. SCSI is a hardware interface.
RAID is no man's SCSI ;)
Most RAID arrays ARE SCSI.
What I would build, while being price conscious:
-AMD 64 3000+ 939 socket, overclock it to 4000+
-Asus Nforce4 motherboard (should be out in a week or two)
-RAM, 1 gig of Winbond BH6 equipped Corsair (can't buy it anymore, I still have some)
-2 73 gig SATA raptors in RAID 0. Anyone that knows about how SCSI and the WinXP/2000 kernel behave know better than to go SCSI (here's a hint: no caching). That's why two SATA raptors in RAID 0 easily outperform 2 15K seagate scsi drives in RAID 0 on MS operating systems.
