[QUOTE="monkeynuts*, post: 1127091, member: 175911"] [b]Thanks for your help dtravis7 and harryb2448![/b] I didn't think the H/Disk would be a problem. I wanted to go for the 2TB WD Green, with 64mb cache. Just out of interest dtravis7, is there a massive difference between Black and Green. I mean noticeable? I know I need to get a special slot loading DVD drive, but I was wondering if there was a large selection of choice, of good quality DVD Drives? I have read in many forum that the Matshita drives really are bad. Anyway, on ebay, they have drives like this: [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320603785687&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT]NEW AD-5630A DVD±RW Drive Apple iMac G5 Powerbook G4 - eBay (item 320603785687 end time Nov-13-10 20:06:22 PST)[/url] It's a SONY-NEC AD-5630A. I'm not sure if it's very good or not, but when you scroll down and check out compatibility. It lists the UJ-846. There are other drives like that too. So I was wondering if I am just limited to one from OWC's or even Pioneer. Surely there must be other drives too?! I know it will be my choice alone in the end, just really wanted as much knowledge as possible before I jump. Oh, is it important if I get the bezel or not by the way? *Great to know that the OWC DVD-RW is reliable though... humm, food for thought! Cheers all, Monkeynuts ;) [/QUOTE]
