Anyone Know Of A Good External Hard Drive?

particularly one that doesn't need to be kept cool. maybe one that is charged through the computer rather than through a power plug, one that contains at least 100GB to 250GB, and one that might be at around $50 to $70. i'm looking for a really good one. i have maybe under 10GB left on my computer but i need like 8GB or so just to make a movie so i get Low Disk Space off and on. little by little i'm still getting rid of the information off my computer to make room.

Update:

how can i tell if my computer can use 2 internal hard drives. particularly a dual one. i don't want to have to save all my data and have to transfer it over.

Update 2:

can all computers handle 5400RPM. how do i know if my computer can handle it, or it does it even matter, it will work for my computer. my computer is a Compaq Home Edition. the kind with no media reader built in. i can't remember all about it. it originally came with 512MB until i bought a 1G RAM. i think the memory capacity was either 100 or 120.
