Yes, you can. I put a 40 gig though I believe 5400 RPM in mine. You
won't get the full performance that the drive is capable of 5400 or 7200
given the ATA 33 controller on the C500. However, it should work without
issue. One other thing to check on is the amount of heat the drive
generates. If it's not hot I would not worry. If it's a bit warm (use
your judgement) then you may want to augment the cooling (how in that
small case is a good question). Otherwise IDE is IDE.
