The number of HDDs you can put in your PC is restricted by the physical space inside your case (my first case only had enough room for one HDD)
and also how many devices you have connectd to your IDE cables, ie CD-Rom, DVD drive, etc... - unless you're using SCSI in which case you can up to 15 HDDs chained together, iirc.

Hope that helps
OK my case has two SATA 7200 80Gb HDDs and a CD RW and a DVD RW.

How many devices can you connecto to an IDE cable? Am I right in thinking that SATA must be connected to an IDE cable not a SCSI cable?

Oh and an FDD. The case is a mid tower sized (Nokia 8850 4-Bay ATX Tower Case with 450W Power Supply), I'm pretty sure there is room for some more HDDs in it.
