Case details:
- External 5.25" Bay x 4
- External 3.5" Bay x 1
- Internal 3.5" Bay x 4
- Dimension 18"x7.5"x16.5" (LxWxH)
- 2 x USB 2.0
- 1 X Audio
Seems pretty expandable to me. I wouldn't worry about that part.

And based on personal experience, XPx64 is not worth bothering with. Drivers are nearly impossible to find, and the ones you do find are buggy as all hell.

If you want 64bit, go for Vista or Ubuntu (though linux is worse then XP for driver support). Personally, I've never seen any performance boost between 64bit or 32bit. In a server, yeah, but for a desktop, nah.
