One suggestion from experience.
You'll always run out of space. No matter how big or how many HDs you get, they'll always get filled up. I remember getting a brand new top-of-the-line machine, with a 2 gig drive, and thinking how can I fill that up? But I did. I got a 250gig last time thinking that'll hold me for a little while. And it did for precisely that, a little while.
Instead of getting a new HD which will get filled up soon enough in time, you might want to consider getting an external DVD writer. DVD media is very cheap, you can get 4.7gig disks for 50p, so if your son wants to keep all this songs, videos pr0n or whatever, he can store them on DVD. Songs and video will play fune straight off the DVD, its fast enough. Likewise if you have stuff you don't want to lose, but don't use every day. And you can use it for backing up too. External DVD writers are also very cheap now. Also, you can still easily move data between PCs via DVDs, and now you have dual layer, meaning you can get 9gig on one DVD.
You might want to consider that, as a more long term solution.
