Big disks are cheap these days - I wouldn't worry that much about the total space that much and you'll still be able to keep a lot online.
This is true for current hardware however I am attempting to reuse our existing hardware that has been pulled from our production systems. It tends to be older technology but still usable. In this case, it is a set of disk arrays using SCSI3 drives.
penny wise, and pound foolish comes to mind here. that older server probably has 1-2 single core processors, too, right? a 2 socket modern 2U could virtualize a dozen of those and outperform each one.
