that should hold you.  You can obviously add another 500GB hdd and
RAID them together if you really wanna terraserver for another $400,
but in my experience even 300 gigs will do you fine - I designed for
500 b/c you probably aren't the only user that's going to use this ;)

Anyways, that's my reccommendation - and it's just $12 over your
"ideal" price range.  That should hold you for a long time my friend. 
A *very* long time...
