About the number of hard disks you dont really need 6 just for audio. 2x1 TB drives would be more than adequate.

One Die Walküre in 24/88 is 12G space on HD… An average concert is about 1.5-2G. I also have a tendency to records all events, with commentaries, interview and so on….

The othet option is to run a normal bulky workstation in another room and use a long digital cable.

It is what I do so far

I'm working on such a project for my personal needs and either way the point where i hit with my head is the DAC, cannot find the right one: I want to play 24/96 and higher-res audio files bit-perfect without much manipulation from the converter. I think that the MSB platinum DAC III that somebody mentioned on this very forums is what comes close to such needs. I cannot find the thread anymore, but I wonder if this guy tried it yet.

Might be the new Berkley DAC would do it for you.

Whatever you do invest as much as you can in term of quality in sound-card/digital-interface. The card, the reading software and the DAC are 3 major things that determine the DAW sound. What I found the most interesting and challenging in the project like yours is if you will be able to make your CD-ROM from of your new machine to play CDs in real time with the same quality as the better CD transports do. Whatever I tried on my workstation sounded horrible. If I found a way a CD-rom on my DAW to play better or competitive to my transport then I would build something that you are trying to build.
