I currently have two WD 80GB Caviar's. One for WinXP and Programs. The other drive is my "folder" where I put all my shit, and it's COMPLETELY full.

You can check out my rig's specs in the link below if you need any information.

And yes, there is more room for me to mount a harddrive.

The only problem I see is the fact that my power supply only has two connectors for an IDE drive and by choice I'd like to stick with regular ol' IDE and not switch to a RAID Array or SCSI drives.

Thanks a ton!!!

Get a "Y" power connector. That will solve the power issue. If you run out of IDE connectors (on the mobo) you'll need to add a PCI IDE card.

Buy a 200gb or bigger disk, if you're planning to buy a 3rd HDD. Put it in an external enclosure for backups, or put one of your 80 gig drives in the enclosure.
