It's fairly simple. You turn the computer upside down and remowe the 
back/bottom of the cabinet.
This gives you access to the inside. If you have worked with hardware 
before, it is fairly evident  how to procede from there.
If not, do a google search; you'll find several sites that will help.
here's one:

As long as you procede carefully and remember where all thos screws 
actually _came_ from, it should be o.k.
The most important thing is the choice of harddisk; remember that a 
large drive at 7200 rpm will generate more heat than a smaller 5400 
rpm drive! We put a 120 Gb 7200 rpm drive in an old imac and 
eventually had to replace it with a 5400 rpm unit, simple because the 
drive became so hot it malfunctioned.


Good luck!
