I am tempted to go with the WDC WD2500JB (250GB).

My only concern at this point is temperature, now that you've brought it up. I've been running HDTune in the background and it is reporting 44-47 C as temp for the failing drive, and a constant 44 C for the working one. In other words the failing drive's temp is at around 116 F. Is that within normal limits?

The case doesnt have any fans other than what came with it. I see one fan for the power unit and then a larger one for the case itself. I am not all too sure that the Dell Dimension 4400's case really is built for any additional fans to be put in. But, I've never dealt with fans so I wouldn't know.

Guys, I really really appreciate all your advice. Thanks for everything.
