I am thinking you're gonna have to replace your hard drives. You could replace all your hard drives easily with one 1TB drive.
The NSK1380 is a great case with a PicoPSU replacing the standard PSU (I am constructing a similar computer right now). I am a bit biased but I think its probably your best option.
Also check out this thread by Vicotnik on the NSK1380. viewtopic.php?t=50626
You can fit everything in the NSK 1380 with enough determination!
The PicoPSU-150-XT has all the connectors you need without soldering and you can buy a 110w power brick http://www.dc2dc.com/catalog/index.php? ... 95b6166ead which if you make some sacrifices will be more than enough

I think you would most likely need to find some small form factor PSU whit a rated spec off about 250-300watt rather trying to use a PicoPsu whit a external AC-DC conversion.
There are rather powerfull bricks (200watt or maybe more if I remember correctly), I've seen them before but they are huge ugly beasts comparing to the size of normal PSU:S almost. Expensive as well if I remember right.
You could try butchering a normal ATX PSU to get some extra space from that by not having the casing. Some power supply might have quite a lot wasted space inside them I would reckon.

You could also set up the NSK1380 with a heatsink like this viewtopic.php?t=38787 and you could have 3 hard drives. But you'd still have to externalize the PSU.
One other option would be to have 2 power sources -- one PicoPSU and then another brick with a molex connector like this http://www.jab-tech.com/12v-DC-Power-Su ... -3776.html feeding hard drives/etc.
