I have a old computer and plan to install XP on it, and just run the internet on it. I would like a hard drive suggestion for this. I would prefer $15 or under, and 10-20 GB is fine. Please include a link. A used hard drive is fine.



Thanks!

Being that it is an old computer, it probably uses an IDE hard drive - which are getting harder to find. $15 or under? Good luck with that. You are probably going to end up with junk. You could try a computer show in your area - might be able to pick one up cheap there - or at a garage sale. For $40 you can have a new one:

Assuming your old computer doesn't support SATA, the cheapest IDE hard drives I saw were here:
