Now when we have video camps we laugh instead of cringe. TB's galore.

Amen, but you don't have to DIY.

HP's EX495 is on sale for $407 on the microsoft store.

I'm pretty sure that if you know enough to operate one of these things properly--you could probably build yourself one for a heck of a lot cheaper.

Nvidia 7600 video card - $30
8x 2TB hard Drive - $800
1x DVDRW drive - $50
1x WHS software - $100.00

total cost $1500 and 16TB of storage and the ability to easily upgrade to anything else in the future.

and that's using everyday prices and not easily found better deals.

It also will actually MAX OUT the gigabit network connection and can actually utilize the transcoding options found in WHS, unlike that crappy atom powered POS.
