if you have an older ps2 (the fat ones) you can get the following:
HDLoader (i think it costs around 30$)
40gb-120gb IDE harddrive 20$-60$
PS2 network adapter 20$
If you have a modded ps2 or have a friend who has hdloader, you can do something called memory card exploit.
you can go to http://www.ps2-scene.org/forums/index.php? , just be sure not to mention anything about downloading video games (they dont support piracy)

Yes the whole HDLoader + a HD is def the best way to go with a ps2. Ive never had a problem with mine and with my 80gb hd I have about 20-25 games on it. It's way better than the whole swapmagic thing, and a lot easier too.
I got a second-hand "fat" PS2 on the cheap (with a year gaurentee) so all I need now is a network adapter and HD Advance.
Where the hell can I find a PS2 network adapter?!
I got a packaged one for £30 and it arrived next day (I don't usually leave feedback on Amazon but this guy has earned it), I've got a Swap Magic disk so I'm going to try the Independence Exploit out later on to see if I can get HDLoader working.
The slide tool for Swap Magic ain't that great, I broke my drive almost instantly. Luckily I was able to take the machine apart and fix it. I'll be swapping the disks by taking the top off for now, fortunately as soon as I've got the exploit working I can just run games off my hard drive with a PS1 game in the drive.
Getting this all to work is almost as troublesome as setting up a PC game.
