I am using a Dimage 5 with an IBM 1G microdrive.
I'm looking to get a beefy external battery pack.
Does anyone have recommendations also where to buy.

I have seen some packs go for about $30.00 to $200.00 depending on what comes in the kit.

Depends on how beefy you mean. The Digipower DPS-9000 is available at Best Buy in some areas for $40.00. ($59.00 here) It provides more than the juice provided by 2 sets of NiMH's (for my D7) and mounts very neatly to the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. Here's some discussion and a photo:

It's probably cheaper for the same wattage @ 1/2 the cost (or twice the power for the same cost)! I use the 1G microdrives as well, but prefer no attachment...
