The original Xbox had a normal 8GB IDE drive. It'll work just fine if you want to put a few in your PC, but you can find bigger drives out of computers on the curb.

Yeah, it will work in your PC. I actually bought a 500 GB hard drive for my original xbox (I'm running linux on it), and I now use it as a media center for my living room.

seriously dude, it's not worth going to the trouble when you can get 500gb for less that $100 nowadays. it does sound like a fun project, but i think xboxdudeman80's "500gb xbox project" sounds a hellofalot MORE fun

If you have so little money, I'd think of going out to get a job rather than using a pc.

The Xbox hard drives are locked and you need to do some modding to get the key. It is not worth the trouble for 8GB. You can get an 8GB flash drive for $25.00 or less or 1 DL DVD.
