iMac hard drive enclosure?

[stevekenson]

So, having replaced my poor, dead iMac G5, I’m looking to do salvage, mainly of the 250 GB hard drive in the old machine (since I can always use more storage). So I turn to the readership of my blog: what are the best resources for do-it-yourself info on removing an internal HD and getting and setting-up an enclosure to use it as an external drive?

I put one of my old ones in an enclosure for about $40. It's USB 2.0 and ever has flashing lights.

Just open the case, remove the screws on the drive and take the drive out. Here's an image for where you can find it:

It's a SATA (Serial ATA) drive so make sure you get the right type of enclosure.
