There is lots of room for expansions. And look at all that...iron,

Lower picture: Sorry! Box contains only floppy
disks. 8" size and 260 KB capasity. 650 mb CDROM for size comparision
.
You need 2560 floppy disk to fill one CD. That is 256 boxes and
9 metres (29,5 ft) of shelf space.
Now days it´s sound like a joke. Back then it was mind blowing.
