You could achieve 1 TB sing 4 250 GB hard drives in a server case. If you are getting a new motherboard as well, I would go with one that has on-board RAID which would allow you to stream data to multiple disks - the speed difference is incredible.

How the heck do you do that? I havn’t been able to play “the feeble files” since installing xp…

What i did was get one of the HDDs from one of my old computers that still had 98 on it and stuck it in my computer. I tried booting to it by messing with the boot sector to no avail. then i found this nifty little program called “OSloader” or something that did it for me! it’s not free though and it has nag windows. but it works.
The SATA is 120 GB’s and cost about 140$ by me. The only thing i had problems with was the installation but that’s because it was my first time with SATA, now i know how to do Some BS with the motherboard BIOS. Im thinking of buying IDE -> SATA adapters so i don’t have to have all those big gray/rounded black IDE cables, right now its one hell of a mess.

My motherboard supports onboard ide raid and onboard sata raid !
Wow… Thats a lot of space to use… I have a 120GB Drive in one of my PCs that I use for Premiere temp files and Video that I am editing. Otherwise on my other PCs the 40GB drives are working fine. I can’t see needing more space then I have in them now… But I dont install a whole lot of things anyway.
