Make sure to consider that you have sufficient power. Hard Drives generally chew a fair amount of power and most low-level power supply units, such as those found in store-bought systems (HP, Compaq, Dell, etc.) tend to not like anything more than its stock settings components.

since im taking my only one hdd and putting a new one i dont think the PSU will be a problem. Unless the new HDD's are more power consuming but i'll get some sort of a software online if there is one and check how much power is being consumed and if it can handle the new hdd. thanks for the tip btw

If your just replaceing the Hdd then your shouldnt have a problem with power consumption.

Check CircuitCity ads every sunday. You can often find hard drives that are lower than 60 bucks, with excellent performance, without any mail in rebates. Instant rebates are definitely the best.

If the computer is that old it may have issues with large hard drives - what brand/model is it and what version of Windows is on it?
