93TB Total Storage With 90GB RAM Across Several Machines

About the Setup How much storage is too much?

For some people, there is no limit. As prices come down measurably on one and two TB hard disk drives, storage options like this become more realistic for average people.

  Ah now.. that’s just a server rack. This isn’t exactly the place for it, it’s not a custom PC in any way shape or form. Fair enough, hell of alot of power and I would love one myself.. but this ain’t really the place for it/

  @EnigmaTechnology
  Agreed, but right now we don’t have an appropriate category to put it in. If we feature more of these we’ll create one though.
