TDC - definately no point in upgrading your existing machine as that would require basically all components being upgraded anyway. Better to keep it for a back up as you've suggested, use it as a print server or something.
As for Hives specs - looks good, but I would go for another case (Personally I love the Akasa Eclipse 62) and buy a seperate power supply - of 500W + (Manufactured by either Tagan, OCZ, Hiper, Enermax, Antec, or the Power Cooling Solutions one).
I enjoy my raptors, they're great drives, and while I have mine in conjunction with 200GB RAID 0 Drives, and 250GB RAID 0 Drives, they're still worth getting with one single big drive.
Ilander, as far as what you said about the RAID 0 beating the Raptor - this is neglible. In terms of game loading performance etc. the Raptor will win hands down.
