Gaming PC:
2x 40 gigs in RAID 0 for games.
1x 160 gig for windows and storage
G4 Server:
10 gig boot drive
160 gig for FTP, web, and everything else
Xbox running Xbox Media Center:
250 gig used for media storage and streaming from my gaming pc to my TV.
Xbox360:
20 gig
NAS:
250 gig used for backing up from everything.
Others:

Wow, I never realized I had over a terabyte until just now. Thats a lot more than my first Mac, an SE with 20 MB drive that cost a lot. I also don't have enough space on my Xbox anymore. I am planning on moving the 250 to my PC and buy a new 500GB drive for the Xbox. Sad, I know.

Uhh... 80GB in my PowerBook... I have a habit of deleting things I don't foresee me ever needing (and which I usually do end up needing ), so I don't see how anyone could ever need or even fill more than 200gb unless you work with video a lot...
I have an iPod too! So that's... 95GB

I have a 3G 20 GB iPod and it's only about half full, so this is more than adequate for me.
My PC is used so sparingly now that a 20 GB HDD is more than enough.
As for my Mac, I do have a ton of music, photos and movies, but having "only" 120 GB helps me to keep it nice and clean - I always make a point to have at least 20 GB free. I think if I had more space, I would just fill it up with more junk, and get lazy in doing cleaning. This way, when I watch a movie, I delete it. If I want to keep something, I burn it. Old music I never listen to? Delete it. I am a minimalist and although it's nice having every single episode of Doctor Who (180 GBs worth of episodes) I do not need all of them on my machine at the same time - that's what DVD-Rs are for.
And plus, 120 GB is still a lot of space.

80 gig + 120 gig in Windows desktop for video storage and backups
30 gig ipod for music and ipod videos (obviously)
80 gig external for redundancy for files i really don't wanna lose
then about 30 dvds as backups of files
a measly 390 gigs of HD space
but yay for dvd burners.
