Specifically about the hard drives.
The PNY may be a bad deal. Go to Tiger Direct and read the user reviews.
Maxtor Ultra16 500GB 7200RPM Internal SATA Hard Drive:
Without any rebates this can be had for less than $100 if you look for it.
PATA drives? Who buys these anymore?
Maxtor OneTouch III 500GB 7200RPM 3.5-in. External Firewire 400 USB 2.0 Hard Drive
You can probably find this for $100 if you look.
Caveat emptor.
