If the Greeks default, various European Union countries, such as Germany, Italy, Spain and France will lose billions of Euros. Germany alone will lose some €56 billion, which can crush the German economy. Economies all over the Europe will be affected as a result of this, as most of them are dependent on Germany.

It still seems likely to me that the ECB/IMF will fold at the last minute because the consequences of a default far out way the costs of restructuring Greek debt (read: write some of it off).

I'm sure there are a few busy calculators this weekend calculating the exact cost of each scenario.
