2 500 gig hard drives in RAID 1 (mirroring), methinks.

reducance = reduce or redundancy ?

redundancy = mirrored drives RAID 1 ( Raid 5 more expensive )
or Lots of DVD's

No, I mean I'd normally go for adaptec, but if it's too expensive something like this will have to do.

Won't be able to do it for a couple of months though, I need to get a nice big flat screen first, and since ive just spent 2 grand on a new box, I'm pretty broke.
