    Hot swap HDDS -at least the mac pro has easy to get to HDD bays

    The minis these days make it very easy to get to HDD and RAM. You just unscrew a large cap on the bottom.

    Nope, gotta remove the logic board to get the HDD out of there. Nice try though.

    Uh, NONE of those have dropped in price. In fact, the Unibody Mac Mini is now significantly more expensive than its pre-unibody candidate. Where are you getting these ideas?

    Unless that's second hand or refurb, that G5 is closer to 6 than 3. They switched over to intel around 2006.

    Many 2.5" sata enclosures will run the drive off the power provided by a single USB cable. Some boards do not provide enough power for this, and require a second cable.

    I'd wondered if that bothered anyone else but me.
    As far as setting interfaces? you basically get 2 options that mean "Do not work properly", and one proper option.

    A friend of mine has am iMac from 2001 running the latest OSX.

    No, no he doesn't. The latest OSX will not run on such a computer. Its not a matter of speed, either. The newest OSX does not have support for the PowerPC architecture.
