Default help with redundant storage setup please

OK first post on the forum, so just want to say Hi to everyone and TIA for any and all help provided...in turn as a residential audio video professional, audiophile and music lover, if I can help you out with anything I am "good at" please let me know, I would be happy to help out...so onto the reason I joined the forum...


I have an IBM desktop (model 8307, netvista-tower) that I purchased off Ebay on the cheap as a back up in case my laptop dies and I need a PC (cause you know we can't be left w/o one ) anyway it is straight up stock with the exception of added ram...what I WANT to do is covert it over to a music storage solution and use a Logitech Squeezebox as a music manager and what I had in mind was upgrade the power supply, add fans for cooling and drop in several 1 TB drives and set it up so that if one of my drives starts to fail the music (data) is sent to a 1 TB backup drive.

I am familiar with RAID technology and did consider that route but I do not have multiple users pulling the music at the same time, just me...so unless I am missing something a raid setup for my application would be like swatting a fly with a large sledge hammer...not really needed to do the job.

I am married with a kids so my budget is tight and will most likely do this project in pieces.

that is it in a nutshell, if I omitted info you need to help please let me know.
