20in iMac G5 HD Question
Hello,
I am going to switch my girlfriend over to a mac and found a good deal on a 20in iMac G5. $250 but it needs a new hard drive. I think they take a 3.5in SATA drive, but will any of them do?
I wanted to buy this WD 80GB drive, will this work?

I'm not certain, but I THINK the earliest G5 iMacs still used non-serial ATA ... I could be mistaken though. In any case, any old SATA 3.5" drive will work in the SATA iMacs.
NOTE: I understand the late G5s with the ISight camera are a more difficult install than mine.
Honestly, I wouldn't go with anything less than a 500/750 at today's prices...see: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136319
