The machine is just beeping constantly one long beep. Not familiar with raid at all.

You've got two drives, the first one has failed (Device #2) and should be replaced. I've no idea if they're hot-swap or not as I'm not familiar with the RAID controller. You should replace it with a disk identical to Device #3, a Seagate ST373207LC. Once it's replaced it should automatically rebuild its self from Device #3 under control of the Adaptec 2120S controller I reckon. I'm only familiar with HP SmartArray controllers. If you're able to get the config info you've posted the system is obviously up.

See how you get on after replacing it.

Play Bonny!

02:09.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 01)

thats the controller.. they are hot-swapable the bays are super micro tower..if i swawp out device #2 with a hdd identical to device 3 then when the pc reboots it should auto rebuild itself?

Looks like it. I'd check out the documentation and such beforehand.

Yes, I'd say the devices have to be identical. I'd expect the disk geometry and lable to be sorted out by the RAID controller but, as I say, read the documentstion:
