For myself, I bought an OWC Aluminum FW800/400/USB enclosure, which matches the new towers nicely, and I used one of my older IDE drives that I had in my previous G5 to complete the device. It has been working perfectly for my backups for some time now.
Why not do the same thing for your fried? Buy a nice enclosure and look for a good deal on an drive to put into the enclosure?
I think you will get a better warranty on the hard drive that way than you will if you buy an already-assembled external drive.
I've never worked on a newer iMac, so I don't have any idea how easy or difficult it is to install a larger hard drive.
I believe that it is a lot more complex than swapping drives in a G5 iMac.
