Default Looking For Ideas

I'm looking to setup a single cabinet in an office that my friend and I just signed a lease on. We've been hounded about the idea of setting up a cabinet with people saying, "Just use portable hard drives!" Well, we would, but since we record game play and video footage on a daily basis that would fill up a 500GB hard drive in less than two weeks (this includes raw footage, audio files, and final videos) PLUS we're both in a computer based degree path, we're looking to setup a sort of storage rack.

Uses:

Web Server
Mass Storage

I'm new to the whole networking/data center thing, so the more information I can get, the better. We're also looking at using 2nd hand HP Proliant or Dell PowerEdge systems since we're on a tight budget. Basically, what would we need to accomplish the tasks listed above. We're mostly looking for storage that we can access when we're not at the office.
