Your computer will/can slow way down. Any read/write process to the hard disk takes longer and installing/dl new items can be a pain if you're off by just a few MB you have to clear HD space and start over. Thats really it, I've had several HD that sat at full capacity for a while. Windows says you should have a a couple hundred MB free on the HD when operating windows or you could have stability issues.
