    Default Attn: IT Guys!

    I'm upgrading the HDD in my iMac G5, and need a Firewire external HDD (or housing) to create a bootable copy. The G5's will only boot from FW, unlike the intel-based macs.

    If you've got a blank external FW HDD, or just a housing I can put my new drive in and are willing/able to lend it to me for a day, there is a burger/beer at Keller's in it for you (or whatever else you'd prefer).

    If you are experienced with Mac's and want to get paid to make the copy for me, even better!

    Thx Jeff man. I'm good on the actual drives, just need the FW housing. :)
    Don't tell me you're a mac hater...or is it just the G5? I have the intel-based Macbook, but this iMac just won't quit on me, so its the living room internet computer.
