Rebuilding a PC

I have a Compaq PC with what I assume is a failed HD controller - it won't boot up, saying there is no OS found and I can hear a series of error tones. Anyway, I have used it as an excuse to switch to the Mac. However, now that I have sorted out a new computer, I am still left with one that will work (I hope) if I can instal a new HD controller - then I can use it as a spare PC (or the kids can use it, more to the point). So to the questions!

1. Is this an easy task or should I give up now? I am not that good when it comes to fiddling around with computers but I have managed in the past to instal a new HD and a CD writer.

2. Where is the best place to get the necessary parts? I assume online would be cheaper.

Thanks
