With 80 GB hard drives around $200...

How many of them would it take to have all the following on a single PC:

o Chessbase 8 with megabase (or whatever they call it)
o Chess Assistant 6
o "Total Chess Training"
o Fritz 6
o Junior 7
o Tiger/Gambit (with the non-CB GUI)
o Shredder 5
o The 9-CD tablebase that seems popular nowadays, plus any other
  equivalently-deep tablebases that may be necessary to support
  the above programs (hopefully all can use that single one)
o a couple dozen other freeware engines for CB and/or Winboard
o MS-Office XP Pro
o Windows 2000
o Norton Systemworks 2001
o Visual C++ 6
o Visual Basic 6
o Some good Java development tools
o about 5 gigs of miscellaneous other non-chess stuff
