A year ago now I had a box sitting on my desk that served DVDs and Music to an entire household. It had a 1Tb array (6x200G). Pity it never got past development stages.

Nice. A pity, indeed, that it wasn't developed further. What was the stumbling block that killed it? Technical problems? Cost? Hardware, er, cannibalism *cough*? That would be a neat toy. Of course ripping a large collection of DVDs would be a long, involved process.
