Could you please point me to the section on Newegg where I would get the hard drive? Also, how many hard drive slots are in the E520, case & cables?

There are two hard drive bays and there's a spare SATA hard drive power connector inside the case, but you will need a 24" [or longer] with 90* [right angle] x 180* connectors.

Similar to the unit shown here,

Try to buy either a Seagate, Western Digital, Samsung or Hitachi. Avoid Maxtor.

Check the lenght of the warranty, there's one to five years [Seagate] on hard drives.
