I wanted to add a 2nd hard drive but I didn't see an "easy to get to place" to put it. There's a slot free but there are wires in the way, I think they are for the mic, headphone jack and that other jack (can't remember at the moment). Another slot has the media card stuff there. I think the only other place is the 2nd slot for a cd-rom or dvd-rom. Not sure if I can put it there though because I can't get the green plastic lock thing off to free the box and put the screw in.

Well you could by drive mounts that would cause it to fit into the CD-Rom slot, but thats kind of pointless The other thing you could do it just rest it in the cd-drive slot. it wont hurt it for sitting there. just remember it if you ever decide to move your computer. So what i would suggest is why not get an external Drive.

There are usually slots inside that aren't visible from the outside. Are there any of those free?

Virtually all cases allow for a second hard drive and all older motherboards will have x2 ide points allowing x2 cd romm and x2 hard drives. Take your time when adding the drive no need to panic the drive will fit remove the cables that are blocking your view and just remember where there plugged in to if you have to un plug but all will fit. Take your time fitting your new drive and you will feel the benefits after.
