[QUOTE="cabose38"]Don't worry, Mass Effect is better without a controller, but anyway, I don't know because I haven't tried. Unless, you play the game for gameplay only, then ou don't need one. I recommend the easiest mode. The replay value isn't in the combat anyway.

Thanks for replying. I know the keyboard may be better for PC Gamers but I WANT to play the game with a controller--regardless of everyone's opinions with a keyboard. I'm what you would call a casual PC gamer. One who uses the PC as a secondary console and to dabble in a few MMORPG's and RTS' here and there. Controller's just fit my hand better and I use them a lot more frequently than I use a keyboard (for gaming.) The frequency of play and the type of games you play make you casual, not the tools you play them with.
The PC generally uses the KB+M. You could program a pad but given that you are "casual" this may not be something you want to do plus you will need a pad with tons of buttons or a controller that can be programmed with button combinations because the menus and such are not the same as on the console. The PC is many things including the best gaming platform, bar none, on earth but it is definitly not plug and play. It is what it is.
To be completely honest with you, its been my experience that when someone asks the question you asked, it generally means that they really dont want to use the PC for one of a dozen reasons. Furthermore, even I wouldnt take the time to program a contoller because I would need to make a custom profile for every game and thats just a waste of time. I would either learn to use the keyboard so you can finally enjoy all PC games or save you money & wait for another $99 xbox arcade deal. You definitly do not need the hard drive. I got a free one from my friend and the only thing it gets used for is demos. Completely unnecessary plus MS is allowing you to plug in a USB drive anyway so it makes the internal drive even less necessary.
