So I'm building my first HTPC, and have been searching out parts for the last couple of weeks.
Looking at cases, several of them say they can accommodate so many hdds up to a limit of x terabytes, eg this
one, "six hard drive capacity (for up to 4.5 Terabytes) "
Is this limit a real thing? If I install 4x2tb drives I'll have 8tb won't I?

Yes ignore. Old advertising, that shouldn't really have been there in the first place. Just a cheap hook.

I suspected as much! 4.5tb being such a huge amount of space that no one will ever need it!
