  Just bought myself a server, with 4 160GB drives. I'm going to set them up in a RAID 5 array. That will give me a nice total of 480GB on the server, and 780GB in total.

  Nice!

  It's going to be my file and database server, as well as a backup site for stuff from my desktop.

  I do computer graphics as a hobby, so I have a very large collection of meshes, textures, etc that are scattered across my desktop's hard drive and a number of CDs and DVDs. Takes me ages to find things sometimes. I expect to find a whole collection of things i didn't know i had.
