I need some help . i have a mac mini G4 and im thinking about getting a PowerMac G4 Dual like this one ` PowerMac G4 Dual 1Ghz 1Gb RAM 120G HD Super Drive OSX - eBay (item 130193992742 end time Feb-02-08 11:07:14 PST) what I need to know is. do the PowerMacs have a special CD drive ? because if I can't get a PowerMac with a Superdrive. I would like to add one myself. i have a sony DL DVD drive, will that work in the PowerMac G4 ? I also have some extra hard drives that are SATA will that work in the PowerMac ?
you might ask the question why not stick with the mini, I would like to give the mini to my kids. also I would like to run dual monitors. I would really like a new mac. but I only have the money for a PowerMac G4 off of ebay .

thank you

one more thing can i run leopard on it ?

Optical drives are standard.

It should run Leopard, just upgrade the RAM to 2 GB if you can.

Also, try to write a better title next time.
Signature depreciated.
