Re: Question about iMac CD drive.

[Nik]

getting into an imac is not like opening a pc box and pulling out the 
component you want to get at. you don't need any special tools, but 
to get at the cd drive you have to remove the processor card and the 
entire mother board. theres 18 steps in all, but it sounds like your 
experienced with handling these things.

have a look at http://www.theimac.com/drive_steps.shtml to get an 
idea of whats involved.

I have about a decade of putting stuff in and out of PCs, but no 
Macintoshes. Would it be easy to open an iMac (do I need special 
tools, etc.)? Can I just put any IDE CD drive I want inside, or are 
there special requirements?
