I say go for an external enclosure.

Your computer will have way too much cables and stuff running through
it.

Something like this:

You could put in eight 3 TB WD Drives and get 25 tb of space.  Or around
22 TB in Raid 5.

I have the 4 bay model and am very happy with it.  I store all my rips
on there for conversion to MKV.

How big do you want the RAID to get (# of drives that is)?   I presume
enough performance to stream one bluray... or will you be doing
multiple?
 Windows/Linux? Redundancy?
