Can we start having some posts from enthusiasts rather than low end home users who don't use hardly any space. I only download movies if they are 1080p, which are between 10GB-20GB each. 50 Movies = a 1TB HDD full. On a NAS I expect to have a capacity of at least 1000 movies + TV shows (I guess I am an enthusiast).

What we need is someone who's taken a case 3.5" bay capacity, PSU SATA port capacity, and Mobo SATA port capacity from an enthusiasts perspective. Look forward to recommendations.

1000 movies is a bit much, don't you agree? I don't think 50 movies is a small amount, but if it is for you, then you can always bump up to a 2, 3 or even 4 TB hard drive.
