Get the biggest you can afford. I have Maxtors, no problem with noise.

No problem. Yeah, regular ole PC drives are what you use. Some won't work right with the xbox though, that's why you should check out that chart.

Yes, PC drives are what they are.
Know that if you do this, and plan to go on Xbox Live it will most likely ban you.
You will also need to go to a torrent site and find Slayer 2.6
http://www.teammodders.com/viewtopic.php?t=672
there is a great tutorial on installing it and formating it, then installing all the apps and such off Slayer 2.6
I am supposing it will have to be softmodded again. You will also need a Torx 10 & Torx 20 bits to open it.

I saw a Seagate 300GB drive on sale at Circuit City or Best Buy that after rebates was only $99 which is great. And that will give you plenty of storage space.

You'll only be banned for HDD upgrade if you've already used Live before.

go to my sig, click on teammodders, go to the xbox tutorial forum.
Then find one on how to set up internet connection sharing, or network sharing and try that.
also read all the FTP tutorials and make sure everything is set up right.
