HP DL380 G7 with 10TB 2.5" drives & an Iomega PX4-300R NAS with 12 TB 3.5" drives. The HP runs all my 'arrs as well as does any coding work & acts as preliminary storage. Drives have cost me more than the server & NAS units.

HBO used to be bad. Going back to the Deadwood or True Blood days... the show would air, within 20 minutes of the end credits, it'd be up on Usenet. You had to start grabbing it ASAP, HBO's sniffers would be on the look out within an hour. And they'd take down just enough parts to make the PARS useless. I don't miss the UUEncode days and the refreshing a newsgroup every few minutes to see if my show got posted (or re-posted) days.
