RE: Woo, managed to get the 2x2TB HDD special!
Most recent mobos only seem to have 1 IDE channel.

Actually, I might can the RAID5 idea.  Stick all the stuff I've got a copy on DVD onto the 1.5TB drive, and stuff I don't have on DVD onto the 2TB RAID1 mirror.
Alternatively, run 1.5TB and other 2TBs in RAID5 (3TB) and the extra .5TB of the 2TB drives in RAID0 (1TB) or RAID1 (.5TB), which gives similar total space.  Don't think the onboard RAID controller can do this, and possibly more difficult to restore in the case of a failure.  Wonder if Windows' software RAID can handle it.
