WTB: original iMac HDD (5400rpm), OS & CD tray (UK)

As the title suggests, I am looking for an HDD no greater than 5400rpm (otherwise the little beast overheats), an original OS (to suit) and a CD drive or the tray from a Bondi blue (clearly not the slot loading stylee).

Just noticed it could do with a better mouse too - those old puck things aren't very good.

A friend of mine drove his Bondi (ancient Apple) off the table last week and did untold damage to his unit. I said I'd have a go fixing it.

Anyway, if anyone has any of these ancient artifacts still lying in the corner of their garage or attic then please let me know - I am not sure how much he is willing to spend on this (not much I guess as it is bloody 233Mhz), but I thought I'd try here before eBay.

Oh, this is only really if you are in the UK as P&P would bust my nuts from US on this little machine.

 

does it have to be anything specific for the harddrive or would any old 1 do? as i have loads of old 8 and 10gb hdd's from xbox's that have been unlocked, would 1 of them be any use?

 

Hi DD, thanks for the offer, but it needs to be a larger HDD (30 / 40Gb) as he uses it for music applications.

Thanks though ;-)

 

no probs, although i do have a spare 40gb, not sure if its 5400 or 7200rpm though, ill check later for you tho

 

Thanks, I'd appreciate it. Anything higher than 5400rpm will run too hot however, so if not don't worry.
