Think you have a lot of blank media?

I'm currently in the process of moving all the junk from one of the upstairs bedrooms down to my "toy room" and office. One of the steps in this process was to attempt to clean up my office. I picked up an organizer for my media and picked up all the discs that were piled all over the placed. I didn't realize I had this much.

With the exception of the lower right, those are all blank. The three on the right are a mix of CD-R, CD-RW and DVD+RW/-RW. The rest are all +R or -R. Sadly, I still have another file cabinet worth of discs to go through.

Just wait til you see my shelf of drives...

Man, you guys are asking for it when I get home. I don't know that your high speed connections will be able to DL this much data.

Well, I spent all of last night going to storage to get all the media after clearing out a room to store it in. Unfortunately there wasn't enough space in that one room and I assume you wanted to see it all in one place. I'm going to get a dolly and move it outside so I can get it all in one picture. I may have time to do this today, but it might have to wait until the weekend.

Wow. How small/large was the cleared space then?
You must have a ton of discs, especially since spindles can be stacked... :)

Too bad all those discs are full of Boy George and Michael Jackson MP3's.

They were stacked and it was a decent room size! Ian, this is just the blank media. The 80s pop culture storage (or as you call it, "Heaven") is still locked up.

Your stockpile of vintage Star Wars and Transformers toys? Yes, that is heaven.

ROFL. Word. I have a Darth Vader with no head or lightsaber and a Boba Fett without his blaster, nearly no paint, and a missing limb. They are the crowns of my collection :)

You should see the bookshelf next to it. One shelf is full of books and the one below it full of comics. Both are bending just as bad as that.

I have a couple shelves of anime and manga starting to bend like that as well... anime is VERY addicting! :D

Wow Ian, very impressive collection of drives.

Not to worry, I'll just fly out there and take a couple of the drives off of his hands.
