Help with FreeNAS?

[angry aussie]

Hello,
I am new to FreeNAS.
I have decided, as I have 2 SATA HDD's lying around at home, to make a school project for computing, and make a home server.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1545, 2.00 GHz Intel Duo processor, 4GB RAM, 32-bit Vista, and a 750 and 250 GB HDD. (SATA) I also have a 1TB external hard drive.
(I'll run FreeNAS off a 8GB SD card)
My question is: Can I use the Dell as the NASBOX, and use this product to connect the two SATA HDD's :

The laptop only has one HDD slot, and 3 USB 2.0 drive slots.
That is the only option, as I live in Australia (No newegg) and I've had bad experiences with eBay.
The HDD station says its compatible with Windows and Mac, so would FreeNAS work with it too?
FreeNAS is supposed to detect drivers automatically from my understanding, so will it be able to use the station?
Also, I am able to access my server over wireless LAN right?

Thanks, I'm sure I'll have more questions.
Jake

You can boot from a flash drive and use usb enclosed hdds. I got 2 x 250 WD IDE in cheap enclosures working happily.
