Need help with a Compaq Evo D51s

    Need help with a Compaq Evo D51s

    Try not to laugh but my mother won this thing from her work.  Its a Compaq Evo D51s running XP.  It has a CD-ROM drive but no CR-RW or DVD Drive, 512 MB of RAM and a Pentium 4 1.99Ghz processor.  Right now it is running ok but I want to upgrade it a little bit for my mother.  Believe it or not she actually uses her current laptop quite a bit for music and movies and what not.  So I want to upgrade this thing for her so that it will work real nice.  I want to replace the CD drive with a CDRW/DVDRW drive, upgrade the RAM on this bad boy and maybe even put a bigger hard drive into it.  Problem is that I have no clue what to purchase.  I have a pretty good idea on the RAM since it is 184 pin but anything you guys could input would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Jeff
