rain collection to be used for garden water and also connected to tiolet cisterns.
water collection from bath, sinks, wahsing mahcine, etc etc (maybe not kitchen sinks due to grease etc) to also be stored for use for watering the garden.
of course you could have a reed bed system for xtremeness.

Maybe like a three shoot system under the sink in the kitchen.
Bootle of beer down the shoot and into glass bin outside
Can of beans down another shoot and into the metal outside
Plastic bottle down and a third shoot and into the plastic bin outside.
That way I don't have to think about orgainising my recycling

I definitely want a central file storage server for all my media thats accessable in every room.
the actually thought of copying my 2000 DVD's over to though pains me!
How many TB would I need to copy 2000 4.35GB movies over?

9TB for that lot. So 18 TB disks in RAID-1, about £1800.

and a rotating bed
That would be horrible! You would fall out of bed every time to try to sleep!
Just been working it out i think
220 DVD's = 957 GB so thats.....?
9TB would I really need Raid 1 if they are all backed up on DVD?
What mobo would support that?

And sharks with laser beams attached to their heads swimming in it.
I would wake up with a headache regardless of wether I had been drinking or not

Not really, depends on how you set it up. I like RAID-1 as I don't have to worry about the speed at which a new disk arrives if one fails. If you go JBOD or RAID-0, the whole thing's down until you get a new disk. RAID-5 actually might be a better compromise given that you're usage pattern is basically ro.
