So, i like the sound of that, but the box is a very frankinbox like... it has 2 SATA ports, one used for the boot drive, one for one of the 500s... the second 500Gb is IDE. The 2 USB drives both internally are SATA, so pulling one and plugging it internally wont work that well... but thats for the info.
