[QUOTE="monkeynuts*, post: 1126794, member: 175911"] Hi everyone, I'm new here, but I really need some help and guidance. I bought an older iMac from a friend, for a really great price. It's the iMac 17" iSight G5 1.83 Intel Core Duo version. (922-7243 ~ 2104 model MA199LL, A1173) Unfortunately the only problem with it is the DVD RW, which from what I've been reading up on, isn't that good and has many faults. The MATSHITA DVD-RW's seem to be really problematic! Mine's the UJ-846 version. So my question is this... After viewing many slot loading SATA DVD-RW's and Blu Ray ones, I am really confused as to which one to buy to exchange it with? Will any SATA DVD-RW/Blu Ray do, or must I be more careful than that? Sony-NEC have the AD-5630A DVD±RW or the 7630A, but I'm wondering, how far I can 'jazz' it up. If, with money not being a problem, is the best drive I could go for.
