Why would you build a giant desktop when 2/4 bay NAS is cheap and easy to setup? You can store and even edit from this if you need to.
With the size of files on 24, 50 or even 100 MP sensors these days there's just no way around managing space and catalogs as something photographers need to be competent doing.
I will admit that I am absolutely horrible at this - everything is sitting in one giant bloated catalog. Now, I am pretty good at cutting out files - if I'm not going to edit it, I dont keep it on my hard drive. But I dont have any performance related issues because of it, it all seems to run pretty smooth and quick.
