Though, if you're building a fileserver that's not going to be doing anything other than file serving, feel free to waste as much CPU as you want on software RAID to get the overall benefits that you want.

Has anyone taken a look at the cpu's on their hardware RAID controllers? 3Ware's stuff runs at 66Mhz. But it's not an x86 cpu so I'm not sure how it compares. If we figure that the most cpu power we could possibly waste by doing it in software is limited to the cpu power of the hardware RAID controller how much are we really wasting?
