Best storage / backup solution for a 4 workstation network using Windows XP home

I'm lazing at this and I'm offering other Experts to jump in an provide a nifty inexpensive solution.

Current network system...

NO Server
4 XP Home Workstations
1 WIFI SRX router with 4 - 10/100 ports.  3 available

None of the systems are sharing files and folders. However, there is a need to backup. Most efficient and cost effective comment(s) are being sought. Keep name brand in mind, avoid "dirt cheap", and must have product support with good warranty.

Solution MUST NOT INCLUDE server.

Ok guys...thank you....I spread the wealth with everyone. Rindi had the most viable for our situation. However, the other comments did spark ideas.

Normally, I would hunt this down myself...frankly the thought was "tiring"...so why not stick my hand into the bag of unlimited points, toss it out there and have someone else do the work. :-)

Thanks again guys!!

Aloha from Hawaii,

Irwin
