Nah, it’s not that. @arrogantrabbit is MIT culture, we’re New Jersey 
It’s the Office Space laser printer scene. Saved you the click!
OMG! The prices went through the roof even for HDDs. I see 4TB Exos listed for 300€. But the bigger ones only doubled.
My 20TB Exos has nearly TRIPLED in price.
This is insane.
huh… so … i have to be happy owning almost 3PB in 14 and 8TB disks?
It will be a problem expanding/replacing. At these prices, only used drives make sense.
Fixed that for you. New only ever made sense if you could not source enough used and were forced to buy new. It was a compromise, not a choice: paying more for worse experience never makes sense.
Looks very nice. It seems as if you only have three disk shelves powered on - do tell more! 
The top unit is off.
The rest is on.
I’m going to be sad if SNOs stop posting rig pics: because they’ve decided to GE. I just saw 20PB in 4u and was hoping it would be someones used homelab in 5 years or so…
The potato nodes must rise again!
