Heres a couple of links from Fred Langa how to build a $500 terabyte server (4 x HDD) and how to add and remove HDD safely:

Naturally your mobo will have to support 4 SATA drives and your case needs to be able to mount them properly.

I hope its a big case, a full tower at least with adiquate ventalation. I've got 4 hard drives in my server with a pci raid card, get them from new egg or tiger for like 18 dollars.
