My recommendation: buy a small, cheap 2.5" SATA hard drive (or 1.8" SSD) and use that as your boot volume, I'd even bolt it to the side of your case if you have to. Then use the whole of your three large disks as a raid-z set.
If I were in your shoes I would also have bought 4 drives for ZFS instead of 3, and gone for raid-z2. And finally, I don't know how much room you have in your current case, but if you're ever looking for one that takes more drives I can highly recommend the Antec P182. I've got 6x 1TB drives in my home server and in that case it's so quiet I can't even hear it turn on. My watch ticking easily drowns out this server. PS. If you're going to be using CIFS, avoid build 93.
