    So ok a 500 GB HDD costs about 30€ aka 50$ where I live. But just How much does it cost with all the softwares, games and other utilities?

    Now please try to make an estimate value of all the software you have on your HDD and even a little LIST. You know, counting stuff like a 500$ Photoshop + a 50$ Devil May Cry 4 game etc. Just how much does your Hard Disk Drive really worth?

    Pir@ted softwares count too.

    PS: This is not a game. Stay serious and do not spam.
    PPS: ace1o1 if you see this, you do not count since you have a shitload of stuff...



    As for me:

    Softwares:
    Photoshop CS3 Extended Edition : 500$
    Microsoft Office 2007: 150$
    Norton Internet Security 2010 : 50$
    etc.

    Games:

    Devil May Cry 4 : 59.99 $
    Borderlands : 49.99$
    Assasins Creed : 39.95$
    L4D 1 +2 : 120 $
    etc.


    In total, my HDD should be more or less 20 thousand dollars worth of software and games IF NOT MORE.

    How bout you people?

    IF YOU HAVE PIRATED SOFTWARE DO NOT TELL US.

    I only have a 160GB HDD rock. :p
    I have all of my stuff on DVDs/CDs.

    All in all I have no clue how much stuff I have in money wise...probably in to the tens of thousands easily starting into hundreds of thousands if not a little less?...

    I really don't know... :(

    Oh... Didn't knew RomUlation ran on software (except SMF)

    Uh, what in the hell? What else would it run on? Potato chips? Of course there's a bunch of software running RomUlation. SMF is just a tiny part of it. There's nginx(free) for the web server, MySQL(free) for the database, Sphinx(free) for the searching, Gearman(free) for job queueing. And then there's all the custom PHP and C code which actually defines how the website behaves.

    It's not something that just happened to exist and I started running it. :p

    First we have http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/prowler485
    Then my music which would of cost me over £100
    My iPod Touch apps which would of cost me around £30-40
    My videos and such, around £200-300.

    ... That's about it.
    I don't pirate any software or PC games.


    Oh and if you want to count this, add another $80 onto it which I didn't even pay for since someone gifted it for me.
