    You can use either, 5400RPM or 7200RPM. The latter obviously being better but more expensive.

    www.itdirect.ie are good, for an Irish company, as are www.komplett.ie

    Make sure the IDE cable (fat and grey) connecting the motherboard to your current HDD has a spare connector, same goes for the power cable (red&black twisted).
