Looks good,I would change the HDD order and make the caviar black the 1st hard disk.

i'd drop the raid, and go for a small ssd maybe 60 or 120gb for your OS (so its nice and snappy) then get ya self a few 3tb drives for all ya drives.

I'd also check with pcs to how many 3.5inch drives you can install in there.
