I have a CD MBP and I am really running low on space so I want to upgrade my harddrive. Is there anything I need to keep in mind when buying one?

Apart from the capacity and the speed of the drive, if you're intending to do it yourself:

I don't intend on installing it myself so I was more interested in speed and capacity 🙂

Personally, if I were in your position I'd go for the Western Digital 250 gig 5400 rpm drive right now.
I believe you won't be voiding your warranty if you get an authorised Apple technician to change it out for you.
At least that's what I've been told.
