A 9 volt makita will do the job and should only be $150 Makita's are great, if I had the money I'd by DeWalt though.
i own a Dewalt, and i'm assuming you want to attach a hole saw to it to make blowholes etc. all you need is an arbor and the right hole saw and your set. i would recommend a Dewalt, got mine for only 65 bucks, and it pounds through anything. oh...its also a very ricey yellow so you know its damn fast! 
The MILWAUKEE 1/2 INCH MAG DRILL is the one to have. Cordless drills are another story. Home Depot has specials and close-outs on those all the time.
No matter which one you opt for, buy it at Sears and make them price match your lowest web price. That $114.99 for the Mag Drill above will be hard to beat. Sears may want to add shipping, so keep that in mind.
Sears wants $129.00 for it, plus tax. Here's a larger image on Sears' bandwidth.

Drills don't cost too much. You can get a really good drill (not for commercial use) for under $100. I have three drills myself, a hammer drill, a side angle drill, and a cordless. The hammer drill can be switched between normal drilling or hammer (concrete) drilling and I think I paid ~$50 for it about ten years ago. That sucker is still going strong.

You don't want a 1/2 or 3/4 drill unless you'd be doing alot of large bore spade bits, hole saws and large metal holes.
They're by design, lower speed and higher torque. Larger bits don't need to spin fast, because it's edge speed(more precisely; edge speed=linear velocity, RPM=angular velocity) is higher at same RPM than a smaller bit. Smaller bits needs to spin faster to get the same edge speed even though it doesn't need much torque so if you do alot of drilling far below 3/8" bits, get a 3/8" drill.
"By this I mean the wide circular hole drills you'd use to drill a hole in a computer case or the back of a tv home entertainment stand."
Tool bits like that call for a 1/2" drill. Buy the Mag Drill for those manly jobs. Jerboy, don't you try it. That drill motor would have you wrapped around it like a pretzel! For little mouse jobs, use a $50.00 cordless. That Mag Drill will be handed down to your grandchildren. The cordless will only be the first of many you'll end up buying over the years!
Here's a cut and paste of some links for those big ass arbor hole saws:

- I just searched all over creation, and those prices are as good as you're gonna get for a holesaw. I saw some adjustable hole cutters, but they aren't worth a damn. These 3-1/8" Lennox holesaws are the same price as Milwaukee, but the 4-3/4" is $50.00!
These clowns managed to find a proper 4-3/4" punch and die, but I couldn't.
Nobody ever lost by buying Makita!

Could anyone (Jerboi?) explain this to me? Just doesn't sound right.

You're able to have a higher RPM on a smaller bit, because the outside diameter of the cutting tool is smaller. That results in a lower surface feet per minute overall. If you cut with a high RPM using a large diameter tool, the SF/M could be too high and burn up the edge of the cutter.
In other words, you can scream through stock using a high RPM, small cutter, but a large cutter would have to hog slowly through. There's no harm in slowly cutting with a small bit, but it would take longer. Using a high speed with a large bit will toast the edge.
You might say, "Hey, the 3/8" drill motor has a variable speed, so I can cut slow with it anyway." Trouble is, it will burn up the drill motor, if it even has enough torque to do the job in the first place. A 3/8" drill motor is a compromise. Any job worth doing...

"u must be asian. heheheh"
Not too cool :disgust:
Here's a couple examples of some cheap puppies. Use these for case blow holes, door lock sets and general heavy duty stuff. Get 3/8" cordless for everything else. A good one will be over $50.00.
