When I got a second-hand G5, it missed both the hard-drive and those special screws. Since they are pretty expensive, I just screwed four normal hard-drives screws in the drive's sides, taking care that one of the 6 screw' side was horizontal (they usually have hexagonal heads), and inserted the drive that way. The drive worked flawlessly for almost 2 years (until the G5's motherboard had the infamous memory controller fault), thus I think you don't really need anything more. Of course, YMMV. The rubber screws are better for isolating the drive from the computer vibrations but, being mine a liquid-cooled G5, vibrations (and noise) were almost non-existing. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
