They do have bit extensions... :) I have a nice security set, which is nice to have for taking apart basically anything. I'm not sure where my dad got it though. (Haha) You might invest in one of those, and one of those bit extensions. I used that to get to the screws on a Powermac G5 processor, which looks like it's about as deep as the screw holes on my Plus. (I think I am correct in assuming the Classic has the same form-factor shell as the Plus?) My plus didn't come with any screws, so I haven't had to try it. Just a suggestion. Kinda an alternative to epoxy a straw and duct tape. (Although, that does sound pretty awesome I must admit)
