How much do you guys think nine 74GB Raptors along with my Perc 5i w/ 512MB cache + BBU + two cables would go for realistically?

(have 8 Raptors in my rig but have a spare... four are Dell OEM 80GB 8MB, three are 74GB 16MB, the rest are 74GB 8MB)

Reason I ask is I was thinking that I could get a few (few being 2-4) OCZ Vertex drives and use just my onboard RAID and that it would be faster, quieter and use a lot less power.

Space is not really a concern, I have a server for that.

FYI this is what kind of speeds I am getting with my current setup:

74gig raptors seem to fetch about $50-60 a pop locally, the dell card maybe $140 with everything. Total? Maybe $600 if your lucky.
