HoardingWillenium says: I had to bring some floppy disks into work which I had been saving for 10 years "in case I might need them". Tell us when your hoarding skills have come in useful (or not, as the case may be)

Me too!I've found that the original incarnation of Windows Home Server was the best for me when things got a little big. It stated off with an od machine, then I acquired a storage server. (two processors, 15 hot swap sata drives and two pci-x raid cards) the drives get upgraded when i run out of space, but the films, tv, music and pictures take a lot of room up. Added to that the rediculous habit of backing up laptops of friends of mine, and their external drives too, half this crap isn't even mine! The worse thing came when I decided to add a HTPC with twin tuner satellite AND freeview cards, along with a second satellite dish for "foreign interest" programming, I end up adding more daily than i'll ever watch. It wouldn't be so bad, but one of the network shares is dedicated to inbound, unsorted content. This is unsorted crap, funny filenames with lots of unecessary letters etc. It's 4TB alone. Still, at least it's neatly housed in a 18u equipment rack!
