Default Get table size

Is there a way to get the size of a table?

I have a table that has one image field and it takes a long time to load and I want to see how much disk space it is using.

I'm not aware of anything which will tell you that such-and-such table takes xxx bytes. Closest thing I know is the DBCC command SHOWCONTIG, as:
Code:
DBCC SHOWCONTIG ('tablename')
While this command is used primarily to display information about the extent of a table or index's fragmenation, it does also display the number of pages allocated, the free space, etc.
