estimating size of datable / database

are there any rules of thumb for estimating database size / datatable size. I don't seem to find any specifically for SQL2005

hi,

a good "start up" article on that can be found at http://www.sqlmag.com/Articles/ArticleID/50257/50257.html, by "Notre Dame SQL Server" Kalen Delaney, where she digs into lot of new catalog views to see where data is stored in the SQL Server 2005 architecture... but it's available for SQL Server Magazine subscriber only...

regards
