hello out there in netland,

    I have been a novice question which someone may be able to help me with.
    I would like to upgrade an old 2 drive IBM PC to a 386SX with two 
    high density drives. One drive has to be 5.25 the other 3.5. My question 
    is what kind of pieces parts do I need? My guess is that I  need the 
    following:
    
    mother board with 640K
    disk controller
    power supply(how many watts?)
    hd drives 5.25 and 3.5
    
    have I left anything out? do you have any brands you like or dislike?
        
    thanks for any help
