1.5TB SAN for $35K -- this is how we do it...

He's probably buying from a distributor in the city. 2x normal price is 
not unusual when you *have* to get it in Manhattan (need it yesterday, 
how the film/TV biz runs). When I worked there doing TV engineering we 
ordered components & stuff from out of town distributors except in 
emergencies or sole supplier cases. We built enough custom gear that it 
actually made a difference in the bottom line at the indie production 
facility where I worked. Of course, the savings probably got burned up 
keeping the clients in coke or something.
