    Nope and mine will never reach max capacity because I build my systems.

    So how many empty drive bays and component slots do you have then?

    System 1 - One empty optical drive bay, One empty floppy drive bay - and several empty bays for hard drives - One empty slot for Ram

    System 2 - Three empty optical drive bays - one empty floppy drive bay and plenty of room for hard drives.

    all 4 of the big bays are full -- DVD-Rom, DVD burner, control panel for sound card, and the 4th has the control panel for my PSU and the floppy drive in it.
    3 hard drives ( plenty of room for more!), a 40G, an 80G, and a 160G.
    only using 2 PCI slots -- 1 for sound card and 1 for and PCI/IDE card giving me 2 more IDE slots
    AGP slot is full (of course)
    3 RAM slots, currently only using 2 of them -- matching 512M sticks
    no need for most add-on cards as the MOBO has 2 LAN ports, a ton of USB 2.0 ports, and the sound card has firewire ports on it.

    once the prices on 10,000RPM SATA hard drives drops down into the realm of reality, I'll be adding at least an 80G

    This system has 3 hard disk. 2 120GB configured in Raid 1 (connected to the Promise card). Also there is a 160 GB connected to one of the internal IDE ports.

    There are only 1 AGP and 3 PIC slots filled with: AGP video, Promise FastTrack 66 card (old IDE raid), Sound blaster audigy 1, Adaptec 2940AU SCI card. Internal 100 mbps NIC card in use.

    2 Internal SATA ports are not used.

    3 of the 4 drive slots a full: 1 DVD burner, 1 DVD-RAM burner and 1 Creative Live drive I, all connected to the internal IDE. Floppy bay is filled with an Imation Supper disk. 3 HD slots available. 3 internal fans in use. There are 4 memory slots but only two of them are used. Power supply lines have been exhausted. Externally I’ have some other stuff connected through serial port, SCSI, firewire and USB.

    I will be installing a gigabit card soon so I will remove the internal SCI card and replace it with an external firewire-scsi converter.

    System one: Pentium 4 HT 3.2ghz, TV wonder card, Sounblaster Audigy Card, PCI Xpress ATI Card, Ultra ATA card (chucked the dialup modem) 2 free PCI slots. 2 Internal HD 1-250 1-160, 2 Optical Drives: 1 DVD Burner, 1 DVD Reader. 1 free 5.25 bay, 1 free floppy bay. Two free RAM slots with 1 gig installed.

    System 2 (My powerhouse system): 1 - 3gb harddrive, 2 optical drives: 1 DVD Rom and the older CD burner you've seen a in a long time (burns at 2x), All PCI slots are filled save 1. Soundblaster Live card, Wireless NIC, NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 card, a Full 384MB of RAM, 450Mhz Pentium II.

    System 3: 60GB harddrive, 1 DVD Rom Drive, 256MB ram, 500MHZ Pentium III, all installed in a small cardboard box (compared to mine, the guy that installed his PC in a cardboard box looks like a chump). Can you smelling the burning paper. (actually, I had no space for cooling fans so I cut a hole in the side of the box for ventilation. When I use the PC, I turn a fan on outside the box and blow it over the whole unit. Despite the cramped quarters of the box.) Next project: Put a PC inside a stereo component case so I can use it for media purposes and it won't look like a pc.
