4 x 73GB would be 210GB after raid 5 right? That should be good for 100 to 150 hours of recordings. I use a 160GB drive and can store over 100 hours. I think I have a 2.5M bit rate. Unless you want to archive long term, I wouldn't worry too much about the posts saying you will need more disk. Set it up and see how fast you go through it. 73GB scsi drives are not cheap.

Also with that much processor power transcoding to smaller file sizes won't be a problem either.
