When the blockchain starts getting into the hundreds of GBs, I suspect that most normal bitcoin users will be using Armory in "lite mode" that doesn't require the blockchain locally at all.
I just bought a 1 Tb disk for 0.5 btc. When the blockchain gets into the hundreds of Gb, we'll be able to buy 1 Pb disks for the same amount of money and I will happily get a disk to store the blockchain and support the network with a full node.
I'm to cheap to buy a 1TB disk, I just used 3 500Gb disks and RAIDed them together to get a 1TB RAID 5 disk.

P.S. Great work etotheipi! I can't wait for the updates your working on.
