Heh heh, well I built mine out of off the shelf parts (easy to repair).
My storage requirements aren't that large so a couple of 120Gb IDE
drives are what I went with. IN actuality I back up less than 40Gb
worth of data every night. However, you can create grandfathered
volume sets inside Arcserve media management so it gives me a little
room to work with.
The whole setup cost less than $1800... of course I already had the
tape drive and an Arcserve license. Going with IDE vs SCSI was a
gamble but kept costs down. So far I've no regrets over that decision
either, though I have had some other systems in the past running IDE
mirrors where the MTBF has reared it's head. Seems though that the
newer IDE drives fair much better.

I'd like to hear your findings on this.
Good Luck.
