Second the above. Target is also a good stop for durable packs. I got a couple Ogios there on clearance some six years back for $8 each! These are 2400 cubic inch packs, really nice, super durable and with two water bottle pockets each plus five or six zippered compartments. I took one of these to Germany for the World Cup in '06; it was totally abused and still looks/functions like new. You can also find Ogio packs online very easily.
Eddie Bauer (assuming they still carry these), Swissgear and Coleman at Target also appear to be good packs and are nice looking to boot. These should all be <$50, maybe <30.
