I have that CM HAF case and its pretty amazing. The best case I ever worked in. One thing you may take note of is the rampage motherboard only does raid once you set it to use a raid. Older stuff let you setup a raid and have regular drives too but now the raid controller only does raid once you set it to raid. I had to call asus about that. So it looks like your 1t drives will be raid0 or raid1. I have not started to overclock anything yet. Once you do that I would be interested in hearing the results.
The 1TB drives aren't intended to be RAID'd at all. I'm going to use one as a media drive and another for my terrain database compiling. The plan is to RAID three more 1TB drives once I purchase the 3ware 8-port RAID controller card.. and run 3 separate RAID arrays off this hardware RAID controller - 2x 300GB Velociraptors in RAID0, 3x 1TB Western Digital Black drives in RAID5, and 2x Intel X25-M SSDs in RAID0. One Samsung 1TB drive will be going into my media PC at that time, and the other may stay in this machine or migrate to the media machine as well. At any rate, the only RAID array now will be the 2x 300GB V'raps in RAID 0.
