Plus, you can always get new ones from netflix. I too , am trying the 100 - thing - challenge. it gets easier and easier as you go. good luck!

I also plan on ripping my movies and will get a terrabyte for my endeavors. Since I belong to a mail order movie rental service though, I could just rent the movies that I partially love but not enough to give them storage space. I am also going to take all my negatives and get them converted digitally. Thinking about ditching my printer too. I never seem to get my ROI before one breaks. It a downright shame that we live in a society of "planned obsolescence". Not that I recommend this... but I just lightened up my load by breaking up with my boyfriend.

I was worried about space because I've only got 540G free on my array at home. I just checked the price of drives and you can get a 1TB drive for 180 bucks. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152102 For $540 I can get 2T with a spare in a RAID 5. If I only save my top 200 movies, that's around 400-500G with some decent compression. I think I may actually start ripping them.
