Someone else has suggested eliminating one of the hard drives, but I'm 
sure you know that RAID 5 can't be done with less than 3.
  On the other hand, RAID 5 is geared to cost-efficient reliability; in a 
gaming rig, speed is probably a higher concern and so simple striping (RAID 
1?) is probably a better choice.
