I can't think of anything that would not annoy people, so why
not increasing disk space? IDE drives are very cheap and the 3ware
controllers perform excellent at a very reasonable price. 7 drives (3
pairs plus one hot spare) with 40 GB each gives you 120 GB netto capacity.
Using software RAID, which works well on Linux, you could also use 8
drives on the controller as JBOD plus a hotspare on the regular IDE
controller, getting 160 GB netto capacity.
