Suggest avoiding the Deathstar line of drives. Use needle nose pliers on the plastic body of the plug and NOT the cables. have to to's on replacing the unit with photos. Pioneer drives are recognised as native by PowerMacs so it is plug and play.

Master is fine as it uses a different cable and channel to the hard drive. Yes the IDE ATAPI superdrive will work nicely. An external case that will take the SATA drive will be excellent, but make sure you get a Firewire connecting case, as G3, G4 and most G5 machines are not bootable using USB, even USB2 as it is much too slow. Went the way you suggested with a MDD 1.25Dual processor and the expense was just not worth the marginal improvement and that was with a 167MHz system bus. I think I might have to mull all this over, during the holidays - That 120Gb is mighty tempting and the supplied 60Gb is as noisy as a bucket of loose bolts and washers! lol I peeked on eBay earlier and saw a 120Gb 7200 RPM IBM Deskstar, used at the amazingly low BIN of £19.99 UK, With £4.99 delivery. Now, can I use the DVDRW that I have from my PC? (AFAIK It's set to Master, but if need be, I can switch the jumpers so it would be slave - OR would it be better to leave it as Master, but have it on a seperate IDE/ATAPI channel?) In the G4 QS, according to System Profiler, I have a DVDRW - Pioneer DVR 103 is the model. Moving on to my next thought: In one of my defunct PCs I have a DL +/- DVDRW, with an IDE interface.

I have a fair amount of PC hardware, that I'd hate to see go to waste and I would like to be able to recycle as much of this, as possible. I think I will still try installing the GeForce 4TI AGP card that I have and see what's what from there. Although, again, there will likely be bandwidth issues there, as well. Failing that, then I'll stick them in external casings and use them via USB2 or something. That being said, I would still like to attempt to use a PCI SATA controller, if it is at all possible and make use of my SATA HDDs. I was thinking about possible bottlenecks, regarding the 133MHz bus speed and you have borne out my initial thoughts.
