How about 67 TB for around $7900. Build your own.

Not quite considering you can get 1tb disks for well under $100, so 67TB would be $1200 less than that... but 1200 for the rest of the solution is pretty damn good considering how well designed it is...
Even if you don't go with 45 drives, you can at least use a dozen 1 or 1.5tb drives for 12-18TB of storage, and should be under 3k... sure beats amazon prices... Even if you build a few of them.
