[QUOTE="lotas, post: 15152"] thanks for the info, but i just found out a major hack on the imac. read this ([url]http://blog.lotas-smartman.net/archives/001120.php#001120[/url]) blog post. basicly im taking the hard drive out, putting in a different ide cable (with 3 connectors, not 2 (board and hdd in case you think im miscounting)) and splitting the power. so i can then have a standard ide drive mounted (probably) outside the case. this is a kind of messy way of doing it, but in theory it should work. i have seen others do this, and i cant see why not! Thanks for the info about what type it is though. the closet i found to it will cost me about 300 euro so im guessing this is my best option. [/QUOTE]
