Arrghh!!!! *Flaps arms and runs around in circles.*
One thing at a time.
First : What motherboard is this ?
If I can get the manual I'll tell you what it will and will not do.
If you're doing 3 different kinds of drive, SATA, IDE HDD, and Optical, the motherboard will have preferences.
Raid is not the immeadiate answer, we've got 250 GB HDD these days.
So, do we have the boot order your motherboard will accept?
Let's start there.
Specs needed for motherboard.
One more point : what is your power supply ?
You'll need a good one.

My bad. Just noted motherboard in your sig.
Gone to read and compare results from others who want to do similar stuff.
