I love/hate these list type threads. Everyone wants to put in their answer, but no one reads what everyone else writes. Anyway:

2 x 100GB ATA100
2 x 40GB ATA66
1 x 1.2MB 5-1/4"
1 x 1.44MB 3-1/2"
1 x 16x DVD-ROM
1 x 16x10x40x CD-RW

8 total. However, the 5-1/4" and the 3-1/2" drives are in a single enclosure. I still think it counts as two since they have separate, different-sized media.
 
1 x Live Drive
1 x 16X DVD ROM
1 x 32x CD-RW
1 x Floppy
1 x 120 GB HD
1 x 80 GB HD

Gives me a total of 6 physical drives...
