I was cleaning out my closet and found 5 Seagate ST34572WC drives ("4.3 - GB WIDE - ULTRA SCSI", 80-pin SCA). There anything useful I can do with them for cheap?

EDIT Crap, wrong section. Could a mod please move this to Other?
 
4.5GB is more useful to me than some strong magnets :p Im considering putting together an http/ftp server when I move out, instead of paying for http hosting. Are 80-pin scsi controllers affordable? Or for that matter, what would be the cheapest way to hook up all five to a normal mobo? Im thinking of going RAID5 for a total of around 17GB - anyone have other suggestions?
 
they do not make such a thing (80 pin controllers)

80 SCA is for hot swappable backplanes.
but what you could do is get 80 -> 68pin adapters for all of them
they are like 6 bucks a piece
 
You'll probably spend more getting those drives up and running, and invest considerible time, than you would just buying a $50 250gb SATA drive.
