Also have programs on the HD that i will not be able to put on a new

Is it necessary to map everything over, or can i ask them to just map
over certain portions. Is it an all or nothing deal??
Just want to go to him, or the store, armed with info so i don't look
like the dolt i am.
Given the dates you are mentioning, your old drive may be an IDE
interface - newer ones are SATA. Not a problem; you just need to choose
a motherboard that carries both interfaces.
Given that physically consructing a PC is about as complex as a fairly
simple Meccano project, I would be tempted to save the money and build
one myself, using the old case. You should be able to do it for at
least $100 less than you have mentioned. Takes some time to do the OS
and driver install but should not take more than a week of spare time
overall. You learn quite a lot during the process, too.
