Yup, this could be neat... definitely gotta backup, considering the quantity of data stored and the fact it just _might_ be hard to replace... let's say we give it a really good MoBo, quality RAM, and (64-bit, SATA2)RAID 6. Now give it redundant solid-state-microswitch power supplies (old terminology, sorry, y'know, the ones like laptop power supplies -- they don't have noisy fans). Use a Pentium-M processor to keep heat and noise down, maybe one of those nifty new dual-cores. SATA drives have really impressed me in the low-noise department (among others). Proper case design can help keep convection currents moving the air around the drives, circulating without need for compression fans like my old ProLiant server had for its RAID drive cage. That thing shook the whole frame of the house until I rubber-mounted it!
