Get some thin plywood and some square molding to create the lip to hold the shelves. Create the main box gluing and screwing to the blocks in the corners. Then measure the needed spaces you want for the drives and other stuff. Here I would only screw the blocks to hold the shelf so you can move it later if needed. You can also create a cross brace which you can mount the USB hub to so it’s out of the way and yet accessible.
