One modification: we implemented two internal 60GB laptop hard drives with an additional 3Ware 8006-2LP controller on each machine for the OS. This
frees up all 16 SATA II drives for data.

That's a great idea. One question though. If I put all 16 drives in a RAID 10 for the database, where should I put the logs? On that large RAID set? If I use a RAID controller with a BB cache for the mirrored laptop drives, might I be able to use that for the logs and OS?
