[OT: NAS] Storage solutions

Starting to need massive network storage here with a home videographer
business.

I'm running 3 windowsXP machines loaded for video work with lots of
the adobe tools installed. And a 4th machine (linux) that is my main
desktop for everthing else.

All have gigabit network adapters and there are 2 gigabit switches in the
interlinking network.

I'm thinking of getting something that allows at least a terabyte of
storage and can serve the lan at gigabit speeds. Printserver and extra
usb ports and such would be a secondary consideration.

Any input on tried and and known hardware or home built solutions
would be most welcome.
