[QUOTE="KiwiinOz, post: 1690936, member: 366079"] Good afternoon, I have a the following Flat Panel iMac. (see info below). It came with a Sony CD-R/RW Drive Unit, Model number CRX170E (Feb 2002). My question is: Can I put a DVD Optical Drive into this model Flat Panel iMac ? And if so, what model / year does the DVD Optical Drive have to be ? Can the DVD Optical Drive be a Pioneer Code DVR-109 (April 2005), or does it have to be an earlier model ? Your advice in respect of this question will be very much appreciated. Many thanks, Martin Harding.
