[QUOTE="Xarvox, post: 10492"] The 5500 has an ATA IDE interface for hard disks, which is good news, as replacement drives are widely available and much cheaper than their SCSI counterparts. You'll be able to pick up one for relatively little cost, so its well worth replacing! I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pass on your other question though. I had a 5500 myself but never had any need to open it (except to add more RAM, however I got my local Mac dealer to do that for me) They are decent machines - much nicer than the dreadful 5200 line - and still make decent little workhorse Macs for internet use and word processing. Heck, you can even upgrade it with a G3 card if you really want! :) [/QUOTE]
