My System

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000KS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

check that your mobo can handle the size
you'll need XP SP1 or SP2 slipstreamed to ensure good LBA48 support
if no SP then beware the 137GB barrier!

It's OEM and that probably means you won't get the usual 3 year warranty.
