I guess for that, I could only suggest labeling them before throwing them on
the pile of others? Though if you keep going, I'm sure it'll end up being a
mess after awhile.

In that case, why not just stick with what you have, and start getting rid of
what you don't need?
I have a 1 TB drive on my other desktop, and I think there's somewhere around
900 GB free. This one here has a 250 GB drive that I've never even filled. I
don't like keeping stuff I don't need for that long. :)
