Beware the third party hard drives; many of them so far have been found to exceed
Apple's specifications (specifically, for power draw) for the Classic.  Even
the Quantum LPS drives don't fill the bill.  It'll probably be a few months
yet before Classic/LC/IIsi-acceptable drives are available in any quantity from
third parties.
