Is there a fear of dust in the drive with the Bezel (faceplate) removed from the tray? I know the case has a retracting door, but it doesn't seem too offer much dust protection. I put a Lacie dvd burner in mine and it only slightly caught the case door with the faceplate on. I'm wondering if the philips screws (instead of the hex) would remedy that without having to take off the bezel? Or maybe trim the bezel down slightly at the top and bottom and put it back on?

I like the music :-)

@johnodd4 Sounds like one of two solutions will work for you. Either the drive bezel needs to be removed as shown at 3:21 in the video, or you've replaced a Sony optical drive with another brand of optical drive and the drive screws are not at the right height as shown at 2:29 in the video. The correct height screws can be found at Other World Computing (link in video description.)

@OWCmacsales Just bought a superdrive and a hard drive from OWC. Fantastic products, fast shipping with great video support. I would tell anyone to shy away from ebay in this market per say and go with OWC!

There are 2 kinds of conector wich one should I get SATA or else???
ferjuca 9 months ago
@ferjuca The PowerMac G5 models all use an Ultra ATA/100 optical drive, not a SATA optical drive.

Please get rid of the awful 80's hairband music intro.

@GuildD695 Rest assured, newer videos have abandoned the "80's hairband" intro.
