It was full before, but deleting like 60 or 70GB of stuff with 110 usable gigs should mean the HDD should be a lot emptier, now shouldn't it... and it did, for a short amount of time. :)
What's it full with? Hmm... almost 100 Windows (CD-based) games (no idea how much THAT takes up... 60, 70GBs?), almost 300 demos (23GB), 72+ full-version (CD or disk) DOS games, at least 70 DOS shareware games, some freeware games (several gigs because it includes the free version of Anarchy Online)... over four gigs of assorted downloads, patches, savegames, etc... the 1.7GB Everquest 2 trial which doesn't work on my computer... 4.5GBs of MP3s (legal net downloads, CDs I have, and game soundtracks from games that use Redbook Audio so you can burn it like a music CD)... 4.5GBs of game trailers, movies, and screenshots...
And even a few productivity programs on C drive. :D
So in short, I installed several hundred game demos (scoured my five years of PC gaming magazine CDs... :D), installed almost all of my PC games, and bought a number of multi-gig titles -- in '04 I bought BG&E (2.1GB), Icewind Dale II (1.6GB), Rayman 3 (1.6GB), FINALLY got another copy of disk 2 of Baldur's Gate I and installed that game (4.2GB), KotOR (4.1GB), Wizards & Warriors (1.3GB), Tribes: Vengeance (4.8GB), Secret Weapons over Normandy (1.8GB), and Sid Meier's Pirates! (1.22GB)... plus the Guild Wars Beta, which, due to hundreds of screenshots, has now reached 1.7GB. :)
Having all of those games installed at once would do a number on any harddrive, I think. :D That's around 24GBs there...
