Ran across this article, pretty cool if you want a massive storage system for a low budget.

Imagine the possibilities.
No matter how hard you try to push the envelope, remember it's only stationary.

Book: Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzy around the area of kneecaps.

You don't need to make it a 67 terabyte cloud, you could build a decent size for only a few hundred bucks.

But then who on here uses 67TB of storage?  Anderson may be the closest to needing it.

I was just in Fry's earlier and noticed that they carry Hitachi 2TB drives for only $199.

Lord I hate you sometimes, Opie.  OK, maybe not hate, but definitely very, very, very jealous.
