PS Is the DVD drive separate from the the hd? Can I simply put in a bigger hd, leaving the DVD drive intact?
Bill,
Absolutely, you can replace the HD - I put a 60Gb 7,200rpm one in my iMac before it went to my mother. It's a standard IDE/ATA 3.5" desktop hard drive - any computer shop can sell you one (not SATA (Serial ATA) though). The iMac CRT can use up to 128Gb internal drive without additional software.
Here are the instructions on how to do itshould you wish...
