i went for 2x 30gb Vertex's in RAID 0 and its just enough room for apps and OS and it's pretty mint, you will notice the difference.
Vertex. Go for whatever combination sounds good, don't want more than three drives in raid 0 or the southbridge will bottleneck it. Two 60gb in raid 0 is my suggestion at that price tag, adding a third in the future if you wish
+1 for JonJs suggestion - 120gb should be plenty for the OS and apps, 60gb you may start pushing it with a lot of newer games, especially if you use steam or similar rather than DVDs.
Not too expensive either after you've gotten rid of the raptor.

Worth considering other cheaper but still good drives though (Falcon, Agility (may not be out yet but should be good but cheaper than Vertex) or Samsung. Or if you're a games whore and need lots of OS/programs space, two Corsair S128, probably RAID0 (transfer rates important for working with big files, but even the Corsair S128 with slower transfer speeds - they are sufficient to not bottleneck general OS use because IOPS matter too. RAID0 benefit remains debatable - some say it helps, others don't, up to you.)
