The info regarding the 5400 vs 7200 is worth considering. I have heard that the 7200 Maxtor drives are OK, but it is your decision. Generally the word is that "...faster hard drives MAY be too hot for iMacs." (emphasis mine). In any case, you can find 5400 drives today that are pretty fast at about 9 to 9.5ms seek. By coincidence, I just bought a copy of MacWorld UK edition. I don't know how well your local news agency picks up British magazines, but if you can find it it has a great 4-page article on upgrading iMacs, including replacing the HD. Try and find the October 2001 edition, it cost me $16 but comes with 2 CDs including a full free install of Now Up-To-Date and Contact 3.8.3 and over 1000 Photoshop/Illustrator/Acrobat/After Effects/Quark plugins. If you can't find it, I can give you a summary here (it's pretty brief, but you will miss the 3 pictures).
