Need advice

My sons Dell Optiplex GX400 computer died recently, and is a EOL unit that is not worth rebuilding. I recently found a Dell Dimension 8200 on an auction site that have similar specifications, P4 processor, PC800 non ECC RDRAM, Intel 850 chipset. The unit was being sold without the HDD or OS. I figure that the drivers would be pretty close to being the same, and was wondering if I took the HDD out of the Optiplex, would it work in the Dimension computer.
I also have the recovery cd for the Optiplex, and the Dimension drivers are available for downloading off the Dell website.

Dell Windows reinstallation CD's will work in any Dell, they are generic and not model specific. All you need are drivers.
