Other World Computing has the original internal DVD drives that came with some iMacs (and would work with yours) for $90: http://www.eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=4588 I've only bought a few things from OWC mostly RAM, but I've had nothing but good experiences with them. I don't know if this is a good price or not, I just knew that OWC was selling these trives since I get thier weekly "Tips and Deals" newsletter, and this drive has been in there every week for a long time. I think that they might have been selling the drive slightly cheaper for newsletter subscribers, if you're not in a big rush you could try subscribing to their weekly email list. I don't know what day it comes out on. > Or I would like to find an external DVD drive.

I > know DVDR is not internal on the iMac would need to USB > or Firewire. Since your iMac only has USB 1.1, it would take FOREVER to transfer a DVD over USB. A firewire DVD burner would work, but I honestly don't know if those let you watch DVD movies on your computer or if they only let you read and write data DVDs. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
