Is this the Aviion from dave? If so then you will need to reinstall the 
OS on the machine because IIRC one harddisk is missing that I could not 
locate where it came from.

You can just slap any harddisk in there or onto the external 
controllers. The internal ones are HUGE and noisy.

Let me know how it progresses getting that critter up and running.
