If so, how do you handle storing media files etc so that you can play them on your TV?

Right now im in the process of encoding around 500 DVDs and im putting them on a 1 TB hard drive but im beginning to see the space is going to run out very soon and wondered if there was a better way to do this?

I had thought about setting up a bank of drives and putting a switch in between them and the PC but that could become problematic switching between drives to find a movie to watch.

Anyone have any ideas on a solution to this problem that doesnt involve masses of external drives?
