Adding 2nd Hard Drive

I'm trying to figure out how to add a 2nd hard drive. I've never done it but I'm thinking it can't be too hard. I have an Optiplex GX620 with a service contract. I'm assuming this is not something a service rep would come out and do.
 
Otherwise, should I just buy one at Best Buy and do it myself? Would I use a SATA?
 
Thanks,
 
Nic

    You can do it yourself, or have Dell service install the drive. Dell service will be happy to install the drive if you buy it from Dell. There may be an additional charge as it is not a warranty issue.
     
    If you have the GX620 mini-tower desktop case, the task is very easy. Looking inside the case, you will find the empty drive bay with the drive holder already in place. You will need only a SATA data cable to complete the install. See this diagram:
