... and?

If this was build a one petabyte desktop, I'd be impressed. But I'm not. :|

I wouldn't. I'm rather sure they'll be standard issue by 2015.

I dont even think we'll be using standard circutry anymore by 2015.  :P

Something can only run so fast before it reaches its limit

It seems inefficient to write instructions on how to build a terabyte machine.  You'd have to write seperate instructions for each person's space requirements and hardware type.  What if I wanted to build a 1.5 TB system using only SCSI or IDE drives?  I couldn't.  I'd have to find new instructions.  Perhaps this article would be more helpful.

These moderators love to delete my totally relevant, non-flaming, factual posts.  Oh gee, I wonder why.

terabyte by 2015? try 07 or 08 easy. I mean it isnt exactly a technical or financial hurdle to get that extra space. Hell I wouldnt be supprised if hard disks are obsolete by 2015... they are making some amazing advances in flash memory capacity, which is of course much more durable and fast.

I think you use 'obsolete' too easily. I know that three years my school still used Apple II's for keyboarding class. But yeah, I don't think they'll be mainstream anymore.

just because they are still used by some doesn't mean they aren't obsolete. Id consider any intel box prior to p3 to be obsolete.

I already have 2x 250 GB drives and 1x 500GB drive, putting me at that 1 TB mark (~928GB, in fact).

[/quote] True, I mean we can make them right now, but by 7 or 8 the major venders will start releasing them.
