After some cleaning and organizing, I've settled on this setup for the time being. I would like to get a 20-22" LCD, though.

Very nice setup. I'm really liking all these setups that use glass tables. I just have a couple of suggestions: put the printer on the floor if possible. If not, swap it with the X60. And, remember to keep your coffee away from your Thinkpad. Coffee and laptops don't mix well.

Combining all four of my USB hard drives at home, I have 810GB of external storage. Most of it is for storing MP3 files generated from my CD collection. At work, I have a 200GB USB hard drive used mainly for backing up data from my experiments.

Well, if you want real lossless, you might as well get them all in FLAC; although there goes any saves one might have made in space as FLAC files are rather large compared to other formats.

I prefer MP3 because it's the most universal format. And it's 810GB because I have a huge CD collection, around 6,000.

Myess, Although remember that WMA and OGG are available in lossless versions as well haha :p
Anyway, regardless, that's a crap load of gigs!
Note: Watch the language.

My music collection is only about 2000 songs right now. I am working on expanding it (With 320kbps quality only). Right now only about a sixth of my music is 320k.
I download a lot of movies, many of which are dvd images, so those take up quite a bit of space.
I use the 250GB drive for backup purposes only, and the 500 is for media and other stuff. I am getting close to needing another 500, though (down to 32GB free).

Where is your Sony F717 camera?
I have five portable 100GB Samsung HDD, three 80GB Hitachi HDD, four 80GB Western Digitals HDD readily available in case my thinkpad HDD broke down again.
Thinkpad X60... Yummy!!!

Man, I have 300G of external storage in total. I thought that is a lot. Now.....
By the way, I burned a lot of DVDs. A lot of family movies are archived in DVD format.

There is a lot of anecdotal evidence flying around the WWW that your VHS/Beta tapes will outlive a burned DVD for archival purposes.
