3 hard drives?
Currently i have 2 hard drives and 2 cd/dvd drives. Can i remove a cd drive and put a 3rd hard drive in, or is that impossible?
Im running the old IDE style by the way.

So run 2 hard drives off the first IDE channel and 1 hard drive on the master on the 2nd IDE channel, and run the dvdr drive as slave?

Yep -- or buy a IDE interface card. They are pretty cheap.

Or just get a 700GB hard drive and be done with the smaller ones.. that seems to be the easier option
