I have pretty close to 1TB in internal and external drives, between three computers... I can't remember the exact figure, but it's pretty well all filled up, so I ordered a 1TB drive a few days ago.

I have 2 1 terrabyte WD drives on my aging p4 to hold "stuff".  They will prob be filled at the end of this year ifin i don't offload some off the stuff onto media (dvd9).

Been pricing here lately and it almost makes more sense to just buy a computer(HP of course) built than build one from scratch. Almost!

I did that exercise several times before settling on the HP i got... there's no way I could build it for that price... plus I made sure it had the upgrade potential I crave... the only downside of it is that the ram slots are full, so I have to take out some to upgrade... (4 slots, 2x1gb, 2x512mb) the mainboard max is 8gb... which I figure is more than enough... I got the one with the cheap onboard vid cause I knew I was gonna upgrade and most of the packaged nvidia cards were lower than what I got for the same price... The only other minor annoyance is the case size and a single PCI slot... I don't have any plans to add any cards, the onboard sound does a nice job even though I have a nice SB Live! sitting here...
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
