Switch harddrives between systems?

Ok, here's how my two systems are currently setup:

Desktop (used for gaming, regular computer use ie apps, web, music, occasional dvd watching)

Asus A7N8X
Barton 2500+
1GB Corsair XMS PC3200
2x80GB Maxtor SATA in RAID 0 (OS and games/apps)
1x80GB Maxtor IDE for storage
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro

Server (used for file storage, dvd ripping/encoding/burning)

Abit NF7
XP 1800+
512MB Samsung PC3200
36GB WD Raptor SATA (OS)
2x120GB WD IDE (File Storage)
1x120GB WD SATA (DVD ripping/encoding)
SATA is on an add-in SATA card

Would I be better off moving the raptor to my desktop system as the OS drive and move the 2x80GB RAID 0 array to my server to use it as the OS/dvd ripping/encoding drive?

The consensus I've gathered from other posts I've read lately is that this change would produce the biggest benefit for what I use each system for. Any input would be appreciated. And please, if you say yes or no, tell me why.
 
i would sudgest getting one of WD new 76 gb Raptor for O/S on you gaming comp. (or maybe 2 in raid 0)

otherwise yes i agree the 2x80gb raid o to your server would help a little
 
The question was more based on what I already have, I think paying $300 or so for a 74GB drive is pointless. I already have the raptor 36
