Just want to know what you think.
For the vote please pick your personal opinion along with any comments down below.
Then please help me decide whether I should use a overpriced ME network that I'll be struggling all the time to get the storage drives. Or whether I should use a MASSIVE easy to make-chest room which I'll have a ridiculous problem trying to know where to put it.

Honestly, it comes down to what you want to do. I've used AE enough to be bored just making the controller, so this time I'm making a storage room. If you want to have a storage room, I suggest using barrels with logistics pipes. It makes sorting much easier.

Thanks for the reply, I do like the sound of storage rooms, but they tend to get a bit big and muddled up.

I Have been using AE Since FTB Ultimate and i still love it but yea it is a bit expensive especially the extra cells like geez but in time you get a ton of stuff like certus quartz currently I've got 11 16M Storage (From extra cells) cells and 4 64K Storage cells expensive but does everything i need :)

Use AE with a storage room! Deep storage units go in the storage room. Connect them to your AE network with storage busses and you're set.

Personally, I make a DSU for every item that comes into my system automatically. For the random loot you pickup etc, a drive full of 4k cells is enough.

I think I'll go with the ME Network (however power hungry and overpriced it may be) and some DSU containing key blocks such as dirt, cobble, wood planks, wood logs from my fast, automatic, self-fueling custom tree farm.
Thanks for all your comments and votes, they were great! :)
Feel free to chatter on each others storage systems.

This probably could have gone under the 3rd vote, but yeah... I don't know how to make a ME system and not any complex storage rooms so yeah...
Probably a useless comment, but oh well! :)
