Need some help

Here's the deal,
I own a Dell dimension 4600 that's about 5 years old. I'm looking into buying either an 80 or 160 GB hard drive internal and need some suggestions on a good one to get as well as a cheap site to search to buy it online.

I *think* that your motherboard has a SATA (version 1 only) connection - so you may want to check. But either way, I have added a drive to a my kid's 4600 before but I can't remember which one I went with - just picked one from New Egg that was affordable.

Hmmm..I got one by Seagate for Christmas...300 gig(Sata)...

Cant really say how much it cost seeing it was a gift
Ebay Is good for parts sometimes...(especially post-Christmas I hear)

Almost any of the larger name brand hard drive manufacturers are a good choice.

Do you know how much you want to spend? because hard drives have gotten pretty cheap the last couple of years.

I did a quick google search and came up with these in the 80 to 160 range that are SATA.

looking to spend 60-80 dollars for a 160-300 giga. I'm sure I'll get instructions for installation, lmao. Looking at a barracuda or the WD brands. Now I just need help finding one particular that fits the tower I own. Thanks for the help so far gang.

Heres one for you, 320GB, ~85 after shipping. Its IDE which I'm sure you have, and its WD, which I've always been a fan of. Anyway, yeah, I'd say newegg.com for buying, regardless of what you buy.

Or save $10 and drop to 250GB...
