They come in different sizes. There are two main ones: 3.5" and 5.25", which are the sizes of the standard bays in a desktop computer case. At one time, 5.25" was the most common, though it's now relatively rare.

How many hard drive can go in a desktop?

The number of hard drives that can go in a desktop is more limited by the space you have within your computer's case and the number of ports on your motherboard rather than operating system limitations. I have heard that you can have up to 24 drives in Windows including internal and external drives. Right now, I have 5 drives attached to my desktop. To determine how many drives you can have in your desktop you should count up the number of SATA or IDE ports on your motherboard and count up the spaces in your computer case. Also, consider using external hard drives to increase your storage capacity.

The two terms are completely different. Your "Tower" is what your actual system ( computer ) is typically reffered to.

How can you see how much hard drive space is available on your computer's local drive?

The following applies to Windows XP and below only. First, open My Computer. Then, right click the icon of the hard drive and choose 'Properties' from the menu that appears. On this screen there will be a pie chart which shows how much free space (pink) there is compred to how much space is used (blue). To get the exact figure, look above at the key which states how many bytes and gigabytes are free on your hard drive. For those running Windows Vista, it is even easier: open Computer from the desktop or start menu, and on the window that appears, under the drive named BOOT there should be text telling you how many gigabytes are free, and how many gigabytes your hard drive can hold in total.
