Ok quick idea. i have 3 usb hard drives just sitting around because i use a laptop and dont like having cables running all over the place. is there a wifi ( or wired )network usb drive hub thing that i could plug at least 3 drives into and access them via my network?

thanks
 
Here is one possible solution - http://www.zdnet.com/blog/soho-networking/turn-external-hard-drives-into-network-storage-via-usb-with-addonics-nas-adapter/322 but you will have to purchase one for each drive.
You might consider this one as well - http://www.amazon.com/Cirago-NUS1000-Network-Storage-Link/dp/B0037NYKW6

There are others out there - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2392221,00.asp
You could also consider an NAS drive enclosure but that would require you to remove the drives from the external enclosures and is bit more expensive than the other options.
