I finally got sucked into DMing. 
however, I have no real time in my personal life to set up an elaborate game, so I think I’ll stick to running modules. I have a homebrew world that I can stick the PCs on, and a slew of characters to throw at them. What I’m thinking of doing it setting up an “adventurers’ island” where adventurers and mercenaries looking for excitement go. There is a lord of the island, and his wizard opens up portals to go to various locations. The lord (who is really a bad guy, shhh) is looking for a number of minor artifacts (which add up to be a really powerful thing, ala Rod of 7 parts), and I think I want to place each one in a different classic dungeon.
I’m planning on starting with “Steading of the Hill Giant Chief” and moving on to other things. Maybe G2, or maybe other modules.
What I’m looking for are suggestions for modules which meet or come close to the following criteria:
Low Story content (or large chunks of it can be removable), as I’ll be providing the plot, NPCs, and character interaction – what little there will be;
Brief adventure (we should be able to reasonably complete it in 4 sessions or less if I can keep the PCs in line – this knocks out Dragon Mountain and Ruins of Undermountain, although I guess I could just insert the PCs into certain sections);
For approx 4-10 mid –level (5th-7th-level) characters (or can be scaled up or down without too much effort);
“Dungeon” feel (doesn’t necessarily have to be underground, but it’s best if it involves a castle, complex, tunnel system, ruins, crypts, or whatnot that is generally unexplored – you know, Tome of Horrors, Temple of Elemental Evil and such)
So, I’ll take your ideas now. the game will be 3e-3.5 hybrid, but I’ll take modules from OD&D, AD&D 1e & 2e (Greyhawk, forgotten realms, whatever, as long as it is portable to another world – I’ll be using my own NPCs too), D&D 3e & 3.5, as well as any 3rd party materials suited to the D&D game, and any free internet downloads. Also acceptable would be scenarios from Dungeon mag, or mini-scenarios from boxed sets or the back of sourcebooks and the like.
Also, since I am Mr. Creature Catalog Man, I can use any monsters on our site, and convert anything I need to.
