You can use the 3.5" 320GB as a boot drive and the 2.5" drive as a spare and data dump; no need to purchase an extra drive in this case.

Even if he has just the laptop-drive use that till you can buy a new hard-drive, it will drive down the setup cost in a fell-stroke.

Rest configuration same as earlier. Cheerio!

So, the motherboard will be *compatible* with the 2.5" HDD, right?

Should I take the 2.5 " HDDs with me & ask the shopkeeper if the HDD will work with the setup I'm buying?

I thought 2.5" HDDs were for laptops only.

Good to know that. Relieved that I won't have to buy a 3.5" HDD and that the existing 2.5" HDD will suffice.

This will keep the cost around 12-13K which is a relief.

They have a SATA connector and power port and they should be compatible with the motherboard in a cinch.

Just to be sure take them with you when buying the PC and ask the assembler guy to attach one drive for you, see how he does it and you will be able to do it better yourself.

Happy RIG buying and may it serve your friend well, Cheerio!
