If you really need that much storage, DO NOT tie it down to one machine. You want the storage dtachable so that if the server goes you can restore image to another server and hook it up to the data.
A single workstation is usually not a good way to go (for something like this which is essentially a video server). You're better off building a super cheap server with detachable storage. Just my 2c. Also detachable storage usually has its own monitoring and alerting tools, which will make your life alot easier.

ah a poor mans SAN, interesting. When it comes to storage reliability SAN's are the creme of the crop so it does make more sense to try and move in that direction.
you could then setup 2-3 cheaper machines to hook to it in a high availability cluster. They don't take long to setup and will give instantaneous failover so you can fix the issue when you get to work in the morning rather than getting an alert in the middle of the night and having to hop out of bed and go down there to fix it.
