[QUOTE="Badger, post: 160188"] If you just want to get the data off it then you'll need an external case. Either USB or Firewire will work. If you want to swap the HDD into another iMac and continue to use it you can do that also. In either case you'll need to open up the damaged imac. The method for opening the original iMacs is slightly different from the later models. For the original tray-loading CD models try this link:[url]http://www.djonmac.com/index.html;[/url] for the slot-load models try here: [url]http://www.appletalk.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=436[/url].
