320GB + 40GB + 40GB = 400GB
100 blank DVD-Rs * 4.7GB = 470GB
100 blank CD-Rs * 700MB = 70GB
4GB + 1GB memory cards = 5GB

Total GBs = 945 GB

I am gonna be a little different. Pure HDD space, probably around 2TB, but I got like 1200DVDs, movies that is. That is at least 8TB right there. These are original dvds, not rip-off crap. I am not even counting the stuff I have burned...

This could turn into a "Who wants to trade music and/or programs" thread very easily

If we're counting DVDs, add 3TBs to my total. Me and my roommate have over 700 DVDs (film majors)

I meant "ripped and stored on the central server, they take up about 500GB."
