Really Budget Monitors?

Friend of mine needs a pair of monitors on the very cheap. In the 100-150 range. I'm just not sure what's good in that price range. He plays acoustic stuff mostly. Acoustic and vocals with occasional bass guitar.

I've heard some M-Audio monitors around this price range are pretty useable, but I'd appreciate some recommendations as well.

Need something to switch from Monitors to Headphones.

Okay, so I need something besides a PreSonus Studio Control Center or a Mackie Big Knob to switch from monitors to headphones. I record in the same room all of my equipment is in. The sound is crystal clear but I just don't feel like shutting off the monitors every time I have to start recording. Any suggestions?

Pro Tools and External Hard Drive

I have been to Avid and posted there with not much help other than to be told I need to get a fire wire external hard drive. The issue is I cannot record to the USB 2.0 1 TB external hard drive I have now. I can save to it but can use it to record to. I have to use the internal hard drive and designate it as the record hard drive.

Need Recommendation on a 'Shock Proof' External Drive

Hello again. I am in need of a Hard Drive that is able to withstand high SPL and vibrations. Sounds silly, but it's a major annoyance. My current external drive, a Western Digital 7200RPM drive, can't deal with the volume level that I record guitars at. Putting foam under the drive doesn't help, I usually have to wrap it in a towel and then rest it on top of the foam.
