The good news is that if your DVD burner is stuffed they go pretty cheap for bare drives these days. Just priced one yesterday (replacement for a friend's CD-RW) and they're right around US$60 at Fry's Electronics, a little cheaper on line.
But I agree with John Forbes: 100G is hardly enough disk space. Internal, I use a 500G main drive and a 250G data drive for scratch and quick backup. I buy external drives in pairs as archive volumes ... My backup always runs the day's work to a twinned external hard drive storage system on the notion that the probability of two hard drives going bad simultaneously is very very low. I'm up to 500s on the external twins now, having been through 80s, 250s and 400s.
