Dear Dennis and all, One sunny day I discovered that I could do the same with my 733 G4, so I put three 120 gb inside. I bought two others for the external Firewire cases. Now I can backup everything daily and have plenty of space to work with my video projects. Ironically, the old disks have ended up in PC´s all around my family.
But now the G5 uses serial-ATA disks and of course we have to wait until serial-ATA disks become affordable, i.e. to wait until every PC comes with serial-ATA. Sigh! ( move to PC says my little voice inside!). Saludos, Javier > I have 120GB drives in my machines at the moment (they were on sale for > $100 at Staples a few months ago).
