Yes so.
My friend wants to build a new computer with a budget of around �450. He wants a "fast, reliable" computer. He'd like to buy it from a supplier based in the UK, like www.ebuyer.com

Just dont know where the HDD goes because emachine 95 screwed me over with trying to take it apart
screws are infront of wires, fan is under the disk drive, hdd screws are facing wall

HDDs go into the hard drive bay of the case, which should be pretty obvious as it's the same size as the hard drive. Same with disc drives. They are connected to motherboards with either SATA, or in ancient machines, IDE cables.

What you've described here is not the typical layout of a computer because each case requires placement of components differently.

the HDD was glued to the top inside of the case....
and the motherboard was on the side inside of the case

they really dont want anyone to get in there
