My Crazy Personal Computer Quest

So. It all started with a 2000GB hard drive. Bought one, turned my old 500 gig into a music and movie drive, and began to obsessively download EVERY SINGLE steam game i own, all 400 of em.
Well its been a while but i decided to gut my external HDD and shove that into my PC as well. An extra 931 gigs of sweet sweet space. With my primary 2k gig drive almost full i thought it was time. And thus my crazy quest to install all of my 400 games on steam onto this one computer CONTINUES!

That is the madness i have created.

I dont know whats come over me but i have this impulse to just download ALL OF THEM, even games i dont like, i just want to boot steam and have every single one lit up.


Am i weird, or has anyone else done this?

So many steam sales. So much money spent (or so little in comparison to the actual value i suppose) And it just ticked off this hidden OCD impulse. :/   Heed my tale as a warning of the madness steam sales can do to mortal men. HEED THE WORDS.

I only have about 20GBs of music. The music I listen to is very select so I don't own much. 

 

Edit: Scratch that, I only have like 12GBs lol.

My system is pretty snappy already. thanks to my 8 core cpu and 16 gigs of ram. At this point in time for the price i dont think ill be jumping on the bandwagon. Right now im more interested in giant amounts of space rather than speed, in fact my next purchase is going to be one of these crazy things- http://www.pcgamer.com/seagate-now-shipping-260-8tb-hdd/
