How much hard drive storage have you at home?

Jesus am I the only one who's not insane! Can you guys really have that much stuff? I just had my system crash and i reinstalled XP from scratch, the only thing that I vitally needed were my documents, music, and email (which i keep on one DVD-RW). Sure I have another 10 GBs of installs for programs and what-not, but that it.

To all of you backing up movies on your computer: buy a DVD burner! It's cheaper and you can watch them from the comfort of your couch -- plus if you get a divx dvd player ~$100 you won't even have to re-encode all of those movies you've already backed up.

Really guys...

I have one 120GB, (2) 80GB's, and one 40GB. Also Judicael, a lot of people are into something or another. I like watching fansubs (animation) and I tend to archive entire series for a while before I delete them and subsequently replace them with something else. Even with 240GB I dedicated to it, I sometimes come close to capacity, upon which there are times I clear the entire archive and fill it up with new fansubs!

I got 40GB MAXTOR and 80 GB WD 8MB cache, and i think it is enough for me but i have to delete some files sometimes. But if i did with DV i would have to have bigger and disks.

I'm afraid I am at liberty not to say, though I have voted, which means all the DH staff know how much space I have and are currently laughing their pretty little heads off at poor ninny old me.
