<br>Ideas about the cost? <br>
<br></blockquote></div><div><br>RAID5+1 spare.<br><br>6x250GB HDD (or maybe 300GB HDD).<br><br>Call Sight &amp; Sound (or any  HP vendor) for quotes on the HDD. Sight &amp; Sound is 374 6078 / 375 1308 (off the top of my head). The others you can dig from Yellow Pages.<br>
