    My PC - 750GB (Unformatted Capacity)
    Server - 4.2TB w/ 544GB free (Windows Home Server - 8 various HD's in it from 300GB-1TB)
    Wife's PC - 500GB
    Son's PC - 500GB
    Media Centre - 300GB
    3 Laptops - 440GB
    "Spare" PC's - Probably in the 6-800GB total region

    All in all - too damned much considering my first PC had a 2GB hard disk and that was "HUGE" because most PC's "only" came with 1.2....

    Down from 544GB free to 486GB in just over a month - I think it's time for another disk again as I have about 200 gig to put on there from various sources and don't like it getting to the point where there's no overhead for disk failure :s

    Let's see here...

    On a 160GB laptop HD 78.3GB are free, and all I have on it is programming and circuit design applications plus about 4GB of photos.

    On a 80GB drive about .1MB free. I have it as a backup of all the music videos I've ever recorded off the TV and other miscellaneous media.

    On a 200GB drive, about 5GB free, held most of the programs and media on my desktop computer before I upgraded this spring.

    On a 160GB drive about 30GB free, was the windows drive on my former desktop, has a bunch of code, school work, programs and media on it.

    On a 250GB drive about 30GB free, everything on it is Window Media Center TV recordings, mostly HD content.

    On a 120GB laptop drive about 30GB free (again had to make room as it's the primary drive on my media center right now), Windows 7 + TV recordings, looks like the entire season of Royal Pains is on there waiting for me to catch up on the last few episodes. (Need to finish the build so I can use the 1TB drive I have for it)

    On a 80GB drive in my print/testbed server is a bunch of code, and media backups. Not sure how much space is free on it.

    On a 250GB drive about 184GB free. This is in my desktop, and I have only a few games on it (BF:2142, BF:Heroes, Tropico, Sid Meier's Railroads! and Test Drive Unlimited). If I installed everything on it, I'd probably have less than half of it free. It's more of a temporary installation as I'm waiting for October 22nd to get Windows 7 (and then the VelociRaptor goes in, and I'll probably get an intel SSD at that time too).

    Just a 500GB, and a 250GB internal SATA drive.
    Next purchase will be a 1TB external hard drive,
    1TB external eSATA DVR unit, or a Linksys Media Hub.

    Have allot of free space. Routine maintenance and cleanup is recommended.

    To be honest; I've lost the count...
    At home I have more then 6 computers running 24/7, including a server.
    At work (I'm now my own boss) I have more then 5 other comp. including another server (and I'm the only employee)

    From what I know from myself; none of my comp have less then 1TB each and my servers have more then 3TB each... but to be honest, none of my comp is full.... (more then half full but not full) so I dont check that anymore

    edit: oh, and I have more then 2TB of external drives that I dont use anymore.... Gotta find somewhere to use it...

    Anyone who think a computer is sexy need to #$? and fast
