I also have a 733 DA thought I bought from ebay, and it came without any hard drive. I put in two 120 gig western digital hard drives that I bought from Frys, which is just a few miles from my home. The machine had the U-shaped bracket already in it. By the way, the description of U-shaped is a stretch. I was trying to figure out what they were talking about when I got the info from Apple when they talked about a U-shaped bracket. The bracket is just a box that allows you to stack two drives on top of one another with a space in between the drives to allow cooling. In between the hard drives the box has a not too wide slot cut into it that technically qualifies it as a U-shaped bracket, and aids the cooling. As to where you might find one of these, I am not sure. Google might be some help. Or an Apple rep should be able to order one for you. Another possibility is to find a trashed 733 and cannibalize one. This part is probably the same in windows machines also. It is only a bracket.
