It's pretty sweet to be able to cover a $1300 purchase with a single two-week check and still have a couple hundred left over, especially when you're only 22 years old. =P
Anyway, this is really off-topic. Better steer back on course before we get locked.

Ohh that's nice.
I am still a student and i don't have a job so for me to have $500 dollars is a big thing here(we have a different currency from dollar)
Anyways Thanks for all the info... :)
Can you pm me or just write here all the components of the NAS unit?
I'll call the shop and ask the prices. :)

Those are rackmount server cases... Probably not very reasonable for the average home user. >.>
And if you're going to have any amount of redundancy, which you really should for 12 disks, you won't have anywhere near 36TB. If you RAID 6 it, you'll have 30TB, which is effectively roughly 27.3 TiB.

A 4u server cause is way better then have a full tower as your home pc. If he wants to run 12 disks its his best option. they fit in most closets perfectly also.
