fitting rigid forks

Hi,
My commuter currently has a pair rox shox duke xc on, they are however worn out and useless. I want to fit a pair of rigid forks, to save on weight etc.
Is there a certain size i will need? do i need to allow for the fact that the bike came with suspension? Is the steerer tube a standard size?
so many questions! does anyone know of a good pair of budget rigid forks, or where to get them from?
Thanks
Ben

I used to have a mountainbike for commuting and some very light XC with a Planet X Kniffen fork. It was insanely stiff and tough on the wrists, even with carbon bars, but it was exteremely light compared to a suspension fork and it made the bike feel really lively and climb like a mountain goat. In the end I went back to suspension forks with a remote lockout.
