The NV+ (released in late 2006, early 2007) is a minor upgrade to the NV which was released in 2006. The major improvement was the addition of the front LCD panel. It has 256MB of memory (unless increased by a prior owner). It sounds as if the unit has been bounced around a bit if the prior owner didn't have any trays. I'm not sure it's a good idea to try to install the drives without the trays.
You might want to consider the Ultra 2 or Ultra 4 when you sell the NV+ chassis. The Ultra 2 is $280 at Newegg (right now, prices fluctuate). It does not have the LCD front panel, but has an Intel Atom D510 x-86 single core 64 bit processor and 1GB of internal memory. It is much faster than the NV+ and supports HD sizes above 2TB. The Ultra 4 is the 4 bay version of the Ultra 2 with the same OS, and features, but add in addition to the 2 more bays, the LCD front panel that will display messages. The current Newegg price is $490. Both include all the trays and screws, 90 free technical telephone support, and free on-line support for the life of the three year warranty.
While I am not familiar with sickbeard and sabnzbd, I assume you run the application on the PC and then use the NAS for storage.
