<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Can't be done.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You're (to put it candidly) saying - what DESKTOP machine with lotsa
disks be cheap!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The answer - with your budget - none. Five 1TB disks will cost you some
2K ILS. A RAID controller will cost another 600-1500 ILS, say 1K. This is your
budget and no desktop yet.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Either reduce capacity oir increase cost.</DIV>
