getting started with a fostex VR-800 need help

hi, i baught a vr-800 on ebay $120 i havnt paid for it yet, but he sais it needs a harddrive, is that gonna cost me much? also i was hoping to use an analog mixer with it, i see some decent old mixers on ebay cheap enough, is there a way i can use an anolog mixer with the digital recorder?
I'm completely fresh to this sort of thing, so i got idea what I'm doing really,

Getting started - from where?

As the title suggests, I'm thinking of starting to record my own material but haven't got a clue which setup would be good for me.
From what I've read on these forums and around internet I've noticed that there are enormous amounts of equipment to choose from. So now I need the help of the enlightened on this forum. What to buy with 1000€?
