Can we get one of these?

    Several months ago we came up with a theory: it should be possible
    to build a terabyte file server for less than $5,000. We talked to
    Mike Vildibill and he found the idea interesting, so we decided to
    run with it. Since then we've done a lot of testing and have been
    through several trial configurations. I intend to detail some of
    our experiences here in the hope that we can help other people who
    are interested in inexpensive large-scale storage.
