Cheap int. 40-80GB HD + DIY HD enclosure FTW IMO 🙂

 
Just built a 160 gig external for 100 bucks. The wife's mac had trouble reading it though, perhaps cuz of the NTFS format? I duno, I wasn't home when she tried.

If you format it fat32 it'll be readable & writable by both Windows and macs...might save some headaches.
