[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1143169, member: 56231"] I see what you mean Harry. Frankly, with firewire external drive availability, why would someone actually want or need to upgrade the internal HD if the computer is not going to be used as a portable machine? Okay 40 Gb is limiting, but manageable, with large files like audio, movies and pics stored externally. MacDude - I was under the impression that a dvd drive wouldn't work in a G3 iMac, but as long as it's an ATA drive, why not? :| As with a hard drive, I'd still go the external way - more convenient.
