Geek Alert: 3.5tb NAS Done!
And mine is awesome. You can buy a 4 drive NAS enclosure for a couple hundred bucks, and it'll have a slow ass processor and some proprietary OS on it. I built a full fledged dual core AMD box for that much, and stuck 8 SATA drives in it...right now it has 3.5tb but it's very expandable....12tb with today's 1.5 tb drives and soon to be much more than that as drives get ever bigger. I'm in the process of putting every bit of media that I have on there – pictures, music, movies, all of it, so that I can access it from any system on the network. The little Mvix box on the TV can access and play any movie on demand, without putting any discs in a DVD player. Really cool, so I'm happy :-) I'm selling old IDE drives on eBay to break even on the expenses, and if I can scrounge up a couple more things to sell, I'll get the gigabit switch upgrade for my LAN.

Due to some eBay success, I'll be adding two more terabytes this week. Damn, I never thought I could fill so much, but now that I'm putting everything I can onto this thing, it's filling up!
