I found this page Destructoid - The-Excel's Community Blog
He has one drive with 500 GB space, although I don't know if it's an internal or external HDD. At least it narrows down the search a bit?

Does anyone with my motherboard have any HDD limitations? If you have a 160GB hard drive at the moment, and can use all of it, that means that your motherboard supports LBA48 addressing (> 137GB).
I believe that means that any current HD should work, including the largest (2TB). | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number homegrown

Above is a link to the Foxconn board manual. I looked through it and saw no overt references to HD supported size. The board uses an NVidia chipset. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one

Nikolay:
What is the model number of your Acer PC?? Is it an AST 180? Questions about buying a new computer fan - SlickDeals.net Forums
Above link has this info:

I have an Acer AST180.
I got it in 2007 from the Circut City deal for $170...when taking the monitor back.
Ive put XP on it.
Ive put another 1tb harddrive in it and altogther 4 gigs of ram. it works great, but could use a new fan on the back of case. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one
