Answer 1

You'll want to reserve about 10 gigs for WoW just for base game and expansions and such. I believe base game is 4 and Burning Crusade is 2. Wrath of the Lich King is coming up which will probably be another 2.

You won't need any additional hardware, just your mouse, keyboard, and CD/DVD drive to read it.

You'll need to buy the base game, just original World of Warcraft, if you want to play. You don't need to buy Burning Crusade to play the game as is, but you'll be restricted to level 60, you won't be able to access the expansion areas, and you won't be able to play the new races that game with it. When Wrath of the Lich King comes out, the same thing applies. However, to get the full experience, you'll want to buy both the base game AND Burning Crusade.

Also, you cannot just buy Burning Crusade; it needs the base game installed on your computer to operate.

Some people like to buy keyboards and mice with extra buttons so as to assign additional ability shortcuts, but I recommend holding off on any and all extras until you've been playing for awhile and know exactly what you'd like to have.
