How much can you store?

Computer Storage

I'm talking about my home computer............

I'm currently adding another internal hard drive to bring me to 1.25 TB and I was curious what everyone else gets by with and how. My internal storage is 750 gb and I've got another 500gb external for backups. That doesn't include all those other flash drives, DVDs, CDs etc. but just my "necessary" storage.

Most of the space is either pictures (current camera uses 10+mb per pic) or music. I tend to rip at 320 CBR so most songs run 10-20 mb. The balance is programs (of course) wallpapers, Stardock stuff and even a couple games..........I like the Call of Duty series and I have a couple racing games. For some reason.....my Outlook file is over 1gb and my MS Money file is approaching that size......Talk about bloat!

Anyway, I'm wondering if I'm keeping too much crap or if I'm at least semi-normal ;)

Computer Harddrives: 2 x 320 gb IDE Internal, 2 x 250 gb SATA Internal, 1 x 320 gb SATA Internal. EXTERNAL HARDDRIVES: 1 x 250 gb SATA, 1 x 320 gb SATA. I think all in all it is 1 960 gb of storage with 450 gb free, the rest is all movies , pics and images etc for my artwork in various graphic programs, military drg's for my job and my marvel collection :CONGRAT:

It's amazing how much storage you need if you're loathe to delete anything. :)
