Hard drives are universal in the sense that, like said above, you'll either have an IDE connection (pins) or SATA, which will be two flat connectors. Memory will vary based on the type of memory (DDR or DDR2) and the speed. And yes, newegg.com is the best place to go for the parts, hands down.

I can hook you up with a HArd-drive for like $30 for a 100g.

Let me know. And I get memory for like $10. Find out what kind you need.

Once You swap the Hard-drive your going to have to reload the OS. Then Download the drives, Thats if you dont have the recovery discs which usually nobody has.

I do this for a living, Let me know if you need anything.
