I am looking at purchasing an External Hard-drive for my PC. I am only looking to spend $100 or so. It will be used to hold pictures, music, home videos, and game saves. I would like the biggest I can get, but also a good quality one. Any suggestions? I have never dealt with these, so please give me your input.

Roll-'Ur-Own.
Buy any 3.5" internal HDD, a 3.5" external enclosure, and Roll 'um together! No muss, no fuss, longer warranty, and you can troubleshoot case and drive problems without voiding the warranty.
Make sure to pick an internal interface that matches your drive (IDE or SATA), and whatever external interfaces (USB, eSATA, FW, or a combination) you require.
If your looking for a premade, spin the wheel of misfortune, and pick the hundred dollar winner!
