plenty, about 2 gb. I just bit the bullet and reinstalled steam using the small installer, it seems to be working.
On a side note, the SDK mod selector seems to be a bit fubar. I can use the SDK apps, but it only works with CS:S (complains about gameinfo.txt being invalid or missing for everything else.) Oddly enough, the hl2 models are being used for faceposer. I think I'm going to be ending up reinstalling windows and steam. I think faceposer (which seems to be very fragile) corrupted something.
