Replacing my internal hard drive

Our hard drive is dying. They told me I could easily replace it myself, so we are shopping for the best deal. After looking at a few big old electronic stores, I figured I would ask y'all. There has got to be cheaper out there, and I know that at least a couple of y'all have built your own computers. They told me any 3 1/2" SATA internal hard drive would work.
Any recommendations?

I would look at these from Newegg.com

Western Digital Is one of the best IMO
It's about the size and how much you what to spend.
Note: Remember Windows Xp will need to have Service Pack 2 to see these bigger hard drive over 130 GB.
