I picked up a 500GB Western Digital MyBook Premium (USB2 & FW)
external hard disk for $219.99, which worked out to be £114.18. The
instore price was even cheaper than their web price (which I guess
includes delivery).

Now to get Edgy installed on it (either via a bootCD or special initrd
- i don't want to do anything to the work laptop).
