Easiest way would be to look in the instruction manual. Google for it if you don't have it.
Be more specific with what motherboard you have got and I could help you more.

Well it has 4 SATA ports so you could technically have up to four hard drives. The SATA ports are the little black slots.
This is only if the 2 DVD writers use the IDE channels. These are the wide white slots with a ribbon cable from them. These could also be used for hard drives as long as you brought IDE hard drives. It has 5 more PCI slots so you should have 4 spare if you only have a TV tuner. And it has four RAM slots so it depends on how many RAM slots you have at the moment. The RAM slots are in a bank and are about 15 CM long.

I can't remember now but I think the spec sheet said it had 3 PCI 1.1 slots and 2 PCI 2.0 slots. Can't remember for sure though.
You have plenty of space for future upgrades. If you ever needed more RAM you would have to swap 1 GB cards for 2 GB ones.
