It's a smaller thing that fits inside of your CPU tower. If you have your manual, on page 38 (if the perfomra page numbering is same as the PowerMac manual numbering) there's a listing of all the parts, inside the tower is a grey box representing the internal hard drive...this is what you're thinking of replacing. The manual says to contact your apple dealer about replacing these, but it is relatively simple. Unfortunately, I've never disassembled one of these, so I'm not exactly sure how it goes, but it should't be too hard. I'm sure there are other here who know how. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
