Graphics, or is that onboard?

microATX motherboard, is the smallest size. Will perhaps have limited slots.

Are you reusing a case?

You might want to google a bit about the EARS drives. A few people seem to have found them unreliable and prone to bad sectors.

Also it's not recommended to use them as primary drives. I believe as part of their 'economy' function they park the heads every so often which slows access.

Reusing his case and oldish nvidia pci-e graphics card for a few months.
Enough slots for what he needs.
