I decided to build a media power house just for housing my stuff!! I bought a nice CoolerMaster Cosmos-S case with 6 internal 3.5 bays (Core i7, 6GB Ram... yada yada yada...). By this time my cable internet was 10x faster at 30Mbps and I felt the need to rebuild my collection of anime from scratch and have everything well organized and consistent (in format, naming, quality, etc...)

Short story long, I'm on my third 1.5TB drive and that's 20% full. Took me 3 months to fill up the first one, one month to fill up the second one, and I've had this third one for two weeks this Friday and expect two hundred more gigs by Monday.

Friend, you see... from my perspective, they can't make these damn things large enough and I only have 578 of the 3000 or so series I NEED(!) and some of these series have hundreds of episodes so I have some ways to go :(

...and yes, I have a problem... a space problem. I have a plan to rotate my drives every set of 4 I get and Ebay the old ones to offset the cost of buying new ones but my plan is only good if I get to double the capacity of each drives with every set. So someone needs to release the 3 TB HDs ad make then cheap by July or I'll have problems.

...and yes, I watch most of them... I don't go to movies or watch television so this is pretty much my visual entertainment. I have to feed it :(

"...and yes, I watch most of them..."

Wow...

(3500gb)/(200mb episode) = 17,500 episodes

(15,500)(20 minutes)/(60 minutes) = 5800 hours of anime

@8 hours of sleep per night

(5185 hours)/(16 hours awake) = 365 solid days of anime

That's one FULL year of watching anime, assuming you do nothing else ...that's a lot.

Are you sure you're not collecting merely to have it? hording treasure? Heh.

I used to live with a roommate who had a Netflix problem... I saw him burning DVDs nightly and I warned him about the road he was headed down.
