I think the £3000 for a 1200GB RAID-equipped server is a little optimistic!!! They're gonna need more than 400GB space, remember. Okay, so 800GB will prolly suffice. But still, that's gonna be a lot more than £3000. Or is that just for the server w/out RAID? That makes more sense ofc. I have no idea about prices for a RAID of that size, unless you intend to build it out of standard consumer IDE drives, which would cost around £1000 I'd imagine (for the drives)
