Compatibility is the major consideration when putting a computer together. I had a number of rescued hard drives around, but they were all IDE (ATA) connections. for our motherboard We needed SATA. Computer Exchange (Tottenham Court Road, near Goodge Street) was a good place to go as I wanted to see what I was buying.
There is also a computer fair in the same area on Saturdays where you can make bigger savings
Make: Western Digital, SATA connection, Capacity:80GB, price £23
80 GB space should be ok for a twelve year old?
