I've installed this drive in my mini and it is working great. It's a little cheaper at Fry's at the moment (if you have one near you - I bought mine at the Austin store.)

Where are you getting the eSATA? The G4 minis are PATA for both the HD and the optical. How much disk space do you need?

First you need to format you new HD. The easiest thing would have been to install the new HD in an external enclosure. Attach it to the mini. Launch "Disc Utility" located in your Utilities Folder. Select your new HD in the left column. Click the 'Erase" button (Tab?) Choose for "Volume Format", "Mac OS X Extended (journaled) Name your HD "Macintosh HD" or whatever you ...

I've read in some posts that they use nylon nuts and bolts and not metal. I would think that this is the safer way to go to avoid shorting anything out. I will shortly be upgrading processors in 2 mini's. Does anyone know where to get the nylon nuts and bolts? EDIT Opps!! Didn't see the above post.
