Any recommendations of shops or makes? What kind of price should I be looking for? I guess a 100-150GB one should be fine...

apologies if this is an obvious/dumb question

You could get a higher capacity HDD (200GB is ~€100 on komplett) and then get the casing (from komplett) too - works out cheaper.
