I would recommend 250GB SSD over HDD, it's only 16$ more

Is there room in a mini case to have both? One as a boot drive other for storage?

The one in Thunderball's build has room for 2x2.5" and 2x3.5" so you could fit 4 drives

The case can fit it but it's gonna inevitably push your budget up.

I wouldnt recommend going with both an SSD and a HDD for that kind of a build. Simply put it's a waste of money. If 240GB is enough for all the data go with an SSD, otherwise go with a hybrid drive.

SSD 256GB is more than enough for running OS and installing drivers. Add another 1TB HDD and you're off these questions for about a year, until another HDD needed.
