One thing to watch out for is the drive mounting holes.  In my 2300c 
the brackets had mounting holes for the older style drives (the holes 
are closer together).  I decided at the time not to put in a newer, 
larger drive as I didn't think the effort was worth it but I might 
someday.  I don't know if the 2400c is the sameway.
