  • can you install a ssd disk in it?

  • @19f97 I don't see why not. That would be sweet!

  • @19f97 You should be able to, as long as its a 3.5" SATA disk

  • is the harddrive sata or ide and also can a glue gun be use to reatach the thermal sensor on new harddrive?

  • It is a SATA drive and I guess a glue gun would work (although it might not read the temp correctly afterwards)

  • can u find the serial number inside there???

  • The serial # is on the bottom of the stand. If you put the imac face down and look at the bottom of the stand you can see it.

  • Any ideas on how to take apart the stand, removing the back cover from the stand.

  • Very instructive, I'll try to replace the 160gb hard disk who came in my g5 iMac, i think the way they are dismantled are similar

  • Great! Just what I needed. You explain in a very pedagogical way so that almoast everyone can understand how to take the computer apart. Now I'm going to open my Imac and try to refix it - I've already done the first part, but I was unsure of the rest. Thank's a lot! If you ever consider to work as a teacher in computer knowledge/English language, you're so welcome to Sweden, Mvh Margareta

  • Very well done, thanks for the info

  • Very well filmed and explained. Nice to know some people know what they're doing. :)

  • do you have any advice on where to buy computer parts if I wanted to re assemble my imac with more up to date parts?

  • you did not show how to take out the super drive and the power supply

  • you did not show how to take out the super drive

  • Thanks Elliot.., Great job!

  • @19f97 Good question.
