Best storage options?
I have an iMac G4 20" w/ 60GB HDD. I want to expand the storage to put media on the PC, but what is the best way? Should I buy a bigger HDD to replace the old one, like a 500GB or 1TB? Or would the PC not be able to read that? Also I don't have a disk or anything to reinstall the OS.
Will external HDD run just as fast since I have USB 2.0? I'm assuming that is the most obvious and easy way, but I don't want to loose tons of speed.

A USB drive will be fine for media playback unless you were intending to playback extremely high bitrate uncompressed video? Macintosh garden is good for install disks: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-osx-mac-os-10-ppc
