Edwin,
Hi. Based on current bang for the buck, I'd go for a 40 Gb rather
than 10-20Gb. It seems to be the sweet spot in pricing right now.
The 10-20Gb start at 60-70, while the 40Gb start at 90. It seems
worthwhile to get 4x the capacity for the extra $20-30. As for
looking for them:
Pricewatch.com is your friend...

Shows numerous 40Gb IBM drives for less than $100.
Hope this helps and take care,
Daniel
