It has two 1TB SSDs (Regret not making at least one a 2TB before the prices 
shot up) and two 2TB SATA HDs. A ~7 year old mirror of the 15 year old that 
died recently and the brand new one that soon will have same copied onto it. 
Pretty much maxed out, room to pop one more drive in to copy a few remaining 
things off of this one when it gets retired.

Started buying up components over two years ago before I retired. Huge thread 
here "Back to new the desktop question". Its up and running Kubuntu which I 
have a love hate relationship with. Love all the new things it can do, hate 
how different it is from Magiea. 

And still fighting to get my Kmail transferred over...
