[MacDV] Re: eMacs & swapping out internal optical drive

[BURTON Chris]

Actually it's fairly easy. I did it last weekend. If you've ever taken apart any kind of computer equipment before it'll be simple.
I took lots of pictures of each step. I said I would post the pictures of my web along with a little procedure .... but I just
haven't had the time to do so. I'll shoot you guys an email with the link when I do get it done.

BTW, I bought my eMac 700 from SmallDog mid last year for $899 ... plus $150 for the DVR-105 ... all in all not a bad deal but I
could have done better if I was able to wait.

Cheers!

Chris
