Well you could use software RAID - Microsoft have a good walkthrough here - {Link}
You just need to weigh up you needs and decide if the redundancy is worth the performance hit from a software solution. Given that the disks are spinning at 10K AND there is just little old you accessing the data, performance is likley to be pretty minimal if noticable to you at all.
Alternatively, given you haven't started building yet, you could investigate what DELL have in respect to "cheap" RAID that could be added to that server?
All of the servers (IBM) I've built in the last couple of years have included onboard RAID0/1 so I've not actually ever used software RAID (except for inheriting it on some ancient NT4 boxes - but I plan to replace those before I need to "learn whilst fixing"!), so I can't offer much more advise unfortunately.
Charlotte is very happy about your last comment - she is due in London around the 17th of November and will doubtless sort something out with you in due course.
