Yes you can but the external USB ones have their own power supply

I got a Western Digital USB external drive from eBuyer this week

Do you have a router for your internet connection?

If you do you need whats called a NAS (Network Attached Storage) box. You can get a ready made one >here<, or you could buy one of >these< and put whatever IDE hard drive you want in
