that should hold you. You can obviously add another 500GB hdd and RAID them together if you really wanna terraserver for another $400, but in my experience even 300 gigs will do you fine - I designed for 500 b/c you probably aren't the only user that's going to use this ;) Anyways, that's my reccommendation - and it's just $12 over your "ideal" price range. That should hold you for a long time my friend. A *very* long time...
