Am I looking for trouble and using a central storage system would be

What amount of storage space do you require?
You can do exactly the same with a single computer, several large SATA

It would be a low cost solution, and by using LVM you can add more hard
drives later if required.

I'm guessing we would grow to about 5-7TB in quite a short time so I
want a solution that scales well.
