what drive  did you end up going with? I was looking at some of the 200 gb drives but it is kind  of misleading as to weather they are internal or external because they say "drive only firewire/usb optional". Can anyone help me out?

You can always get an internal drive then stick it into an external case. Thats likely what the firewire/usb optional means.

Anything less than $1 / GB is decent

Less than $0.70 / GB is great
