yeah what he said :) The biggest problem is usually getting the cables to
reach to the hard drive when its resting on "whatever" outside the tower.
The IDE cable is usually long enough but the power supply connectors often
don't reach so you probably have to find something to raise it up to the
level where they are at.

> If by "physically install" you mean mounting it to the interior of the
tower, then NO. As long as its connected via the IDE cables, your system
will recognize it. Plug the IDE cable to it, make sure the jumper setting is
correct, and make sure the power is connected to the drive. Then, just rest
the drive safely on something steardy, whether it be a kleenex or anything
else close enough for the cable to reach.
