This RAIDON unit seems to give you a nice case but very little else. Even the RAID aspects have been done before.

Devices like this have been about cheaply for many years. I have a solid state XBOX media centre that is setup using a device similar to the DealExtreme one that has been running for years and kiosk PC's and the like commonly use CF cards. The Compact Flash slot is after all in essence a mini ATA setup for the data side anyway. I have even seen bridge chips for putting MMC/SD cards onto IDE/SATA. That is a very cheap way to do this .
