Most definitely. I’m doing the same with my old 80GB drive, though I did put it in a USB case I had lying around. Easier to grab something if I need it that way, I figure.
As far as large drives are concerned, you can get a 2TB Western Digital drive for less than $300 now…and I think they still have a 2-drive unit that gives you mirrored 1TB drives, if you want redundancy…at least I think I saw one on the shelf at Best Buy the other day, anyway.

I’m going to get a large external drive for Time Machine, too, but I’m also going to keep my SuperDuper backup around, too. They are different backups for different goals.

I’ll second the vote for SuperDuper. I used it to upgrade the hard drive in my old G4 Powerbook this past weekend (needed more space!). I also just upgraded my OS, but only to Leopard, since I can’t run Snow Leopard on the G4.
I’ll also agree that backups are your friend! I need to get another (larger) external hard drive so I can start using Time Machine now that I have it.
